CASology #159: AQUATIC

Hello, friends!  It's that time again...time for our next cue card at CASology!



During our ten-day vacation in Hawaii earlier this summer, we did a lot of "aquatic" activities (e.g., swimming, snorkeling, surfing, jumping off very high rocks into the ocean).  My kids were especially interested in finding sea turtles, and we spotted several of them in different locations on the island.  That was the inspiration for my card.  The aqua blue card stock I used for the hexagon die cut reminds me of the color of the water in Hawaii!

Turtle and sentiment by The Alley Way Stamps
Word bubble by Hero Arts
Hexagon die by Papertrey Ink


Glossy Accents on the eyes and Wink of Stella all over the turtle add some sparkle and shine.



I'm linking up this sweet fella at The Alley Way Stamps August Link Up.

So, what does AQUATIC bring to mind?  Get crafty and play along!  Be sure to link up your card by noon on Monday (Central time) and check out the awesome cards by our Design Team and Guest Designer, too!

    Too cute!! Love this little fella and his nifty colorful shell. We saw turtles in an aquarium on our vacation. One even visited the backyard of the house we stayed in!!

    Your sea turtle is so sweet and I love how you colored him! Such a clever idea for a background, too! Love this card, Judy!

    Really cute card Judy. How nice that you could incorporate memories from your Hawaiian vacation. I spotted only one sea turtle when we were in Hawaii in December.

    I knew I would see a "Hawaii" reference with your cue word! LOVE that you got to see some sea turtles while you were here--so lucky--and how you placed the little guy on the base of hexagons. So clever, Judy!

    That is one awesome looking turtle! Love the fun colours and the clever sea in the background. I love seeing turtles in the water. We have a few that come around our dock occasionally and I see them sometimes when I'm driving along near the water. No matter how many times it happens it still always gives me a little thrill. They're just so cool!

    He is extremely cute, and your addition of hexagons to match the patterns on his shell is so clever. Love the colour graduations. And I turtley love that sentiment! I was thinking of you when I was making this week's card. I was tossing up between a hula dancing chickie digi and a bath chickie digi, and bath time won out. The hula chickie was so cute though!

    Oh, this is so very cute. Love how you did the water and that turtle is darling. We also love to look for the turtles in Hawaii, and are usually rewarded for our efforts.
