Just Us Girls #836 - Word Week

I'm the host for Word Week at Just Us Girls and I have chosen "Water".


I've had to make a couple of other cards featuring water so I had to put my thinking cap on and come up with enough cards to cover them all.  For this one I used all die cuts.


I cut a panel with C9's Wavy Card Front die, then inked the various sections with the Lapis Lazuli set of Altenew Inks.  I tucked the boat from Spellbinders Set Sail under one of the cuts.  

What does the word water bring to your mind?  I hope you'll join our guest Betty Keefe and the Design Team by making a card for the challenge.

Perfect card for your Water inspiration, Bobby! Your little sailboat bobbing along the waves is delightful. I quite like that you've not added a sentiment here (or on some of your previous cards), leaving it open to all kinds of occasions as the need arises.

This one makes me feel a little woozy, Bobby - but you did a great job blending color and used the ideal die for your waves!

Well this is simply wonderful. The colors, the use of those die cuts, just everything. Inlay is so much fun to do, I bet you got a lot of satisfaction out of this one. Well done!!!!

Your watery background is amazing with such perfect shading. I love that sailboat taking a cruise across the lake/sea.

You know how I like nautical and water scenes and this caught my eye! Love the products you had to make this. Was it like doing a puzzle to put those inlaid pieces back into their places? You sure got a pretty sea effect with it! I really like you boat die too! Great "water" card.
