I'm still struggling with color!

Whenever I'm inking a background I tend to leave the colors too muted.  I'm still struggling with color!

I used four different inks on the background and really thought it would be more vibrant.  The final card looks fine but it's not what I was aiming for at all.

The sea horses are clip art images that I did a print/cut with my Cameo and colored with pencils.

The shells are from a stamp set and also colored with pencils.

The coral is embossed with white.

I printed the sentiment on my computer and pop dotted everything for dimension.

Daisy Card and Sea Shell Card

The flowers were made with Stampin' Up's Blossom punch.   They're punched then cut with scissors.

The sea shell is a clip art image.  The edges of the elements were distressed and inked.
