I really like how this turned out, even though I was a little unsure about what to do with these colors. I used taken with teal, cool carribean and more mustard and white CS. All products Stampin' Up!, unless otherwise noted.
I stamped the little boy from Summer by the Sea in Timber Brown Stazon. I colored him in with inks from the pad lids and my aqua painter, and sponged on a bashful blue sky. Then I matted it on teal and mustard.
I scalloped the bottom of my carribean mat and punched the oval with the large oval punch. I used the word window punch for my teal tabs, and added the mustard brads. This whole piece was attached with dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment (Small Script) with teal and then punched it out with the small oval, rubbing the edges in my mustard pad. I then mounted this with a dimensional, as well.
I think I shoulda put a BG stamp on the carribean for a bit more dimension, but it does look good clean too. I think this is a great card for a little boy. I am sending this to Shane, for his WISH! Have fun and happy stamping!!
This card is stunning! An absolute WOW. I check your blog daily and really enjoy everything you post. Keep up the great work.

I think Shane will love this. I have to get mine done too. What a beautiful card. I think the colors go well with each other. I would have never thought to put More Mustard in that combo, but it looks terrific. Chris
