JAI #109: JUST ADD ...... BEACH

The challenge at Just Add Ink this week, is to create a  papercraft project with a  "beach" theme.   Bronwyn came up with this idea, before leaving the JAI Design Team.

This week's card is a departure for me, from using all Stampin' Up! products.  I don't have any SU! stamps that are "beachy", although I have used Stampin' Up! paper, card and colours.

Stamps: Happiest Birthday Wishes, CC Designs Mermaid Emma, shell border stamp from PSX

Card: Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo, Whisper White, X-Press It blending card

DSP: Tempting Turquoise Patternss Designer Series Paper

Ink: Versamark inkpad, Memento Tuxedo Black inkpad, Crumb Cake stampin' pad, Tempting Turquoise stampin' pad

Other: Nestabilities, Fancy Favor Bigz die, Brights button, Linen thread, White embossing powder, sponge dauber, Prismacolor pencils & Odourless Mineral spirits, Scallop Edge border punch, Dazzling Details, mini glue dots

It's a bit hard to see in the photo, but here's a close-up of the 'waves' I created, with a bit of sparkle.  I used my Scallop Edge border punch on a scrap piece of card, and used it as a stencil, sponging turquoise ink along the edge to create waves.  I then used Dazzling Details to make the waves a little glittery.

Make sure you check out the rest of the Design Teams' creations this week.  We hope you'll play along with us - we'd love to see your beach-themed card or scrapbook page!
