Color Hues Challenge #134 - Pink and Turquoise - Thanks from the Ocean Depths (Better Press Society - Sea Friends)

Hello,

Welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #134 where Bonnie invites us to play with hues of Pink an Turquoise for the next two weeks. Such a pretty combination for a wide range of images and occasions.

We're delighted to have Kim Miller joining us as our Guest Designer.

Another of my Better Press Society collections has come out for a play; this time, Sea Friends, that released a year ago in June 2025. It's about time I gave it some attention, right! 

I glimmered the images with two shades of turquoise hot foil and one of pink.  As many of you know, glimmery, shimmery images are a challenge to photograph. In this case, however, the lighting created an interesting effect though, as it 'appears' I used various shades of teal with the ocean border, when I didn't. I'll take that as a win!  The pink and lighter shade of turquoise feature a 'satin' hot foil that offers a less shimmery, slightly softer result.


Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from our Guest Designer and my fabulous teammates.
Looking forward to seeing what you create with Pink and Turquoise. 

The challenge will be open until June 14 @9:00am (EST).

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall
 winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.

Thank you for dropping by!

  4. What a great theme for this color challenge! I don't have anything sea worthy, but this makes me think that's a hole that ought to be filled.
    I love everything about this--the fabulous ocean border, the wonderful sea creatures, and the perfect sentiment!
