TCP Tuesday 212: Ahoy There!

I've been a bit quiet around the old blogosphere lately, so I thought it was high (tide) time I updated Ink About Me with something new and fun! This week's TCP Tuesday challenge involves a technique called Paper Pleating that I actually did a SCS tutorial for last year. You can find the tutorial HERE. Check out Julie's blog for all the details. Alma's blog is always full of fun TCP Tuesday info as well, so be sure to stop by and give her blog a little love.

For my card, I've incorporated a few stamp sets and CutUps to create a clean and scrappy sort of card that would be fun to send along, out of the blue, just to say 'I'm thinking 'bout you'! The papers on the waves and scallop are from Crate Paper's Portrait 6x6 pad and I can't, for the life of me, remember the name of the paper I used to paper piece the boat. Finally, my paper pleating comes in on the skinny black strip even though it's hard to see. The strip that I pleated was actually wider, but I re-straightened the paper after folding it and trimmed it to about 3/4" for the look I wanted. I hope you've enjoyed my card and will give the paper pleating a try this week! Here are the sets and dies I used:

• CutUps Wave
• CutUps Big Scallop
• Aye, Aye, Captain
• A Whale of a Time
• Admit One

 Have a great weekend!
