Here's my card based on the colors that hostess Bobby chose for our Just Us Girls Challenge #725: peach, lavender and grey. I went beachy, but the team and our special guest Jenny Martin came up with a variety of ideas for you to check out and enjoy. We hope you will join us for this pretty color combination.
Products I used:
Papertrey Ink: Shell dies
Ellen Hutson: Let's Chill stamp set
Quatrefoil cover die: I don't have the packaging anymore, but possibly Papertrey ink
Distress inks
My Favorite Things: Grey ink pad
Gems: Pretty Pink Posh
I masked off the left side of the card base, then ink blended lightly with purple and orange distress inks in an ombré way. I found the quatrefoil die cut in my stash and cut it to just cover the left side of the card front. (I used the other half on the right edge inside the card.) Next, I die cut my shells and ink blended them. I glued them down with the tops loose for dimension, and popped the scallop shell up on foam tape. Last, I inked up the sentiment and added a few gems.
Play along with us this week!

Carol... life is a beach. I am headed to the water in just a few... am going to float in the pool and watch the Blue Angels overhead. Great card!
