to the BEACH

 Happy Friday! I've got the baby today, I'm always amazed at how exhausted I am after taking care of a baby/kids all day.  It's almost like I'm getting old... whodathunkit? LOL  ;)

I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Creative Knockouts #541 - Finish the Inside

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

(I have to give a huge shout out to the SSS DT's - every time I'm stumped for ideas, I go visit the challenge blogs and find inspiration somewhere!  So thank you for that!)

Crafty Gals Corner - Something Pink

Cupcake Inspiration #612 - For the Love of Pigs

This was a fun card to make - I love using the Paperie Ink stamps to create scenes, they are just perfect (and so stinking cute). I used the Seasun of Fun set from Paperie Ink Stamps, stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I colored with alcohol markers, fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional tape (I actually find fussy cutting easier than trying to get the darn dies to line up perfectly with most of my coordinating stamp/die sets!). I took a little piece of kraft cardstock and fringed the edges of it to look like a beach towel. I created the background beach scene by blending Distress Inks on watercolor paper and spraying with water, then blotting with a paper towel. The "to the beach" die is from Sizzix. I used a black gel pen to create a border inside the card, and attached the piggy holding a popsicle with his umbrella. Peace.
