You May Need Sunglasses

Don't say I didn't warn you that this card is bright! And it is out of my color comfort zone at that. But... I wanted to give this combination a try because I was walking through the Mall this week and kept noticing navy and coral/poppy, or navy and yellow in many of the clothing stores. The navy blue I was seeing was not as dark as our Night of Navy but definitely in that range. 

I decided to put those colors together for a card using the Apothecary Art stamp set, and here is what I came up with. 

The designer paper is from the Everyday Enchantment pack (Sale-a-bration) again. This particular piece of the dsp is a lighter shade of Poppy Parade which makes it a bright Coral color - just like the color I was seeing everywhere. And how 'bout those edges? I used the Adorning Accents Edgelit and Embossing Folder

I should probably explain the focal image. I stamped it with Basic Gray ink, not Night of Navy. Reason being, Basic Gray is permanent ink so water coloring is no problem. After my water coloring was dry, I went back with a Poppy Parade marker to add contrast.
