JAI 581: Just Add Legs

 Hi!


Thanks for popping back to see what the Just Add Ink Design Team are up to this week. Our challenge has been set by Lou, who is asking us to Just Add Legs to our cards. And thanks to Lou, I've had 'Legs' by ZZ Top on repeat in my head all week! Argh!! LOL!


But seriously, what a fun challenge - a great chance to think outside the box. When you think about it, there are lots and lots of things with legs. For me, it was a chance to use my Sun-Lovin' Santa stamp set from My Favourite Things.

I love that Santa is set for the beach and his legs are peeping out from under his boardies! Then I spotted the flamingo stamp in the set and had to find a spot for him on my card. He's got the longest legs of all!

My background was created by masking off the palm trees and gifts and using my Blending Brushes with Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel and Bumblebee inks. I used sticky notes to give the crisp lines for the sand and ocean. I didn't want to spend too much time on the background when the focus is Santa.

I used a few more of the same images on the inside of my card. They were all coloured with Stampin' Blends. I was tempted to add another flamingo, but I couldn't get the proportions to look right, so I satisfied myself with just the palm, ball and gifts.

Is your mind madly spinning though your craft stash, wondering what you could use that has legs? I hope so! We'd love to see what your creative mind comes up with, so don't forget to link your entry over on the Just Add Ink blog. You can also see the cards that the rest of the Design Team created. 

Bye for now,

Tina
