JAI #173 : JUST ADD ..... WATER

The inspiration for this week's Just Add Ink challenge came from, of all things, a humble bottle of water! 

All of the Just Add Ink Design Team members who travelled to Brisbane for Stampin' Up!'s Convention in May, stayed in apartments that had complimentary water in the fridge on arrival.  Check out the bottle label - these waters were placed there especially for us (at least we can  pretend!).




 
So, our challenge this week is to Just Add Water, to your card or other papercraft project.  You may interpret this how you like - weather it be water-related stamp images, or watercolouring, or maybe even a Sweet Treat cup filled with water.  Let's see what you come up with!
 
Here is my card, using some beautiful "watery" paper from the Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper Pack, just retired.
 

 
..... and the inside of the card:
 
 
 
Stamps: The Open Sea, That's the Ticket, Up Up & Away (retired)
Card: Pacific Point, Marina Mist, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede
DSP: Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper (retired)
Ink: Pacific Point stampin' pad and marker, Marina Mist marker, Soft Suede stampin' pad, Crumb Cake stampin' pad, Soft Sky stampin' pad
Other: 2 1/2" Circle punch, Ticket Duo builder punch, Basics Glimmer Brad, Crumb Cake taffeta ribbon, Pacific Point stitched grosgrain ribbon, sponge dauber, Linen Thread, Sea Charms dies (not SU!), stampin' dimensionals
 
 
Make sure you check out the rest of the Design Team's samples. We hope to see you playing along with our challenge this week!

  7. Great card, Christine! It's a fantastic set for a masculine card, and the color combination you've used lends itself perfectly to a nautical theme. The charms are great embellishments. Love it!
