Paper Smooches SPARKS Cool Shades {post1}

Hello, friends:}

**After 9amEST--please click HERE for my Mama Elephant highlight post! 

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! The third week of the month is always a Cool Shades challenge.  

This week we are inspired by the following color story "Royalty":

Navy, Fuchsia, Teal, Grey

This might shock you.... but this card literally took me almost a WEEK to create! I tried so hard to think of something funny to say for the shrimp image {PS Surf & Turf}....and NOTHING! Then I asked Trav last night because he's the guru of searching for things....and within two minutes he gave me this idea! LOVE it! He's so smart:)

I used some old Echo Park Dots & Stripes papers {some available HERE from the RC} as my card base. The hardest part of this card was masking each of the words-- they are from LOTS of different PS stamp sets {He Said She Said, Vegtastic, Alfresco, Cuteasaurus, Smarty Pants, Sunny Side Up, and Woofers & Tweeters}. Totally worth the trouble of masking and inking!! LOVE! 

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs and leave them some love.
