Beach Loving...

 

4 challenges inspired today's card...

Just Add Ink // #JAI778 ...A "just add" challenge!!  For this current challenge we are "just adding" color & theme.  I picked the blue, yellow, aqua, and rust colors and for the theme I embossed the background with my underwater embossing folder.  I love the beach...I love sitting on the sand and watching the surf, while the sun beats on my skin.

Little Red Wagon // #LRW844 ...A theme challenge!!  PICTURING LOVE is the theme for this current challenge!!  While I saw alot of hearts out there for this challenge I went with a more subtle expression.  In my stamped and embossed image there are some tiny hearts and I felt like this card really embodied my besties and I's love of the beach.  I made this card for her.

Addicted to jStamps & More // #ATS&M510 ...A technique challenge!!  Use stencils and/or dies!!  I used a starfish die.  I love this little die...it cuts and embosses...fantastic little gift I recieved from my daughter's mother-in-law.
