Beachey Vibes for JAI #778

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to another new Challenge week at Just Add Ink! 

It's been a hot week here in Melbourne with temps in the 40's so this week's image of a beach seems so perfect!

This week's Just Add Ink Challenge is a Colour and Inspiration Challenge suggested by Nikki. You can choose to base your project on either the Image or use at least 3 of the colours or both. Our design team have all created some lovely projects to inspire you and we hope that you will join us.

For my card, I was inspired mainly by the image - the beach and sand and the starfish and shells. So I created a beachey background and then coloured some of the Notes &Totes dies to create a bag and bits and items to take or find at the beach. And as well as the image, I also managed to include 3 of the colours. 

To colour the tote itself, I used a retired stamp on the white card stock and added some Coastal cabana pieces cut with the trimmer. The bottle and sunglasses are coloured using Blends and the starfish and sentiment are coloured using Copics. 

The sentiment is from a long retired set called Sunshine Sayings that comes in handy often in Summer.

The 3D effect of the tote is quite special and I'm so glad that I had the chance to try out these products before buying them.

Thanks for popping by today and taking the time to leave a comment. It's always very much appreciated.

I hope that you will enjoy this challenge and especially for those experiencing snow, you can perhaps dream of warmer things. Whereas here was me wearing an ice filled vest the other day to keep cool! 

So I look forward to seeing all your projects at Just Add Ink this week.

"Til next time,

Jan
