Seas The Day For PP790

by Administrator14. June 2026 08:00

Today it's Sunday and time for this week's new challenge over at The Paper Players! It's the turn of the fabulous Christy to host this week and she has a bright colour challenge for us to work with:

       

I thought these colours were perfect for summer and the Just Us Girls Challenge this week, and I’m also linking up over at Time Out Challenges with ‘summer’ and ‘water’ as my chosen words - take a look at what I came up with:

 

Here's the low-down on today's card:

I decided to use my Party Alphabet Dies to create a punny sentiment as the focal point of my card. I added some water stencilling to the letters before adding some diecut foam from the Rolling Waves bundle (I did both of these steps before I diecut the letters) then layered some fun leaves, shells and umbrellas using the other dies in the Rolling Waves bundle to add a little extra summery feel:

I thought this was a fun way to create a ‘sea card with a difference’ - what do you think? Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

 

You can see all of my Product and 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any.

I absolutely love this, Joanne!  I will have to get that mask you keep using and then I'll have another craft item to blame you for ; )  I love how you put so much detail on the letters and the fun umbrellas and leaves are great accents.  It all pops perfectly on that bright pink card base.  Thanks for making my colors look amazing and I hope you have a great week!

WOW, Joanne! What a great way to show off the challenge colors! I LOVE all of the little details you have added to the card, all perfectly placed, but it has to be "SEAS" that steals the show. This is one of the best summer cards I have ever seen. Have a wonderful week!

WOW! Your bold die cut 'SEAS' is a showstopper. What a great way to use both the Rolling Waves bundle + water mask + big letter dies - so creative! I love seeing the burst of summer fun, staring as I am at mid-winter dullness! Have a great week!
