Wavy Seashells

Happy Wednesday!

It's a very steamy and humid one here in NC.  Of course, it's July so that's pretty normal.  I have a quick post to share.  Seems like this week they're all quick posts.  Can't seem to work fast enough for some of these challenges and they begin to wind down quickly!


A few specifics about my card.  It began with a baby wipe.  I saw Michele's post a few weeks ago she had shared about her using an inky dried baby wipe on her card.  So I decided to try it.  This is one of the cards as a result.  I have three more panels from two baby wipes left to make a few more cards soon.  I used sticky backed paper to glue my baby wipe onto cardstock. Then I die cut it from the Wavy background die by Waffle Flowers.  I then adhered it to a background created from photo paper with ink of the same colors smooshed onto it that I had in my stash.  I like to create my own colored cardstock with my CP Inks so that's what I cut my seashells and coral from.  It does require re-inking your ink pads more often but It's cheaper than buying colored cardstock.  


For Following Challenges:








Card Supplies:

Paper: Neenah 110 lb Solar White for card base; Photo paper;

I really like your techniques on this pretty beachy card. Michele's baby wipe technique is new to me. Very cool. Thanks for playing with us this week at Just Us Girls.
