Just Add Ink #109

Good Morning!...This weeks JAI challenge is to "Just Add Beach".....Hmmmm, well the only remotely appropriate stamps l had is a retired set called "Fishy Friends" from Stampin-Up and as l had yet to ink up this cute little guy, he was my choice for this weeks theme.


I felt he needed a little dimension, so l popped him back on the inside with an acetate window to give the effect of a porthole and coloured him in using Copic markers.
The sentiment is computer generated as l wanted something fun and non-generic, over all it was a bit of fun and hubby wants to know when I'm giving it to him...lol!

Dont forget to head over to JAI and check out the awesomeness from the rest of the DT.

"Thanks as always for stopping by"

    Nikki, this is absolutely adorable! I love that little crab in the prot hole. Great idea to pop him and use acetate. I also love the hemp - looks very nautical! Great sentiment!

    Nikki, this is just the cutest card - I love it to bits! Love the colours, all the gorgeous stamped elements, the porthole and the string. It brings a big smile to my face. That hubby of yours has a nerve, LOL.

    Too totally cute Nikki. This is a gorgeous little card...right down to the sentiment (that you will never have to use with hubby right?). Fabulous take on the beach theme this week!
