I created this card for the CAS challenge at SCS (cas62). The challenge was to create a card inspired by postcards of Mackinac Island, MI.
I’ve seen a lot of cards recently where folks have layered the scallop border punch (especially when using an owl image) and it looks really cool. I decided to try the same thing with this border punch to create a “wavy” effect.
Now if I could just figure out how to adhere my layers so they aren’t crooked!

This is so fabulous, Karen! I love the waves from the punch. And the colors you chose are so soothing.
Love how you used the punch to make the waves! Gorgeous!!!
I love the punched borders! It really goes well with the beach image. Great idea!
I love the beach, and this really reminds me of it. That punch works great for the waves–great idea.
What a great way to create the look of waves! I love Mackinac Island…they have yummy yummy fudge!!
The border punch idea is genius, Karen–this is the first time I’ve seen the technique and now I can’t wait to see if I have that punch in my stash! š Serene, soothing card, so nice.
I absolutely love this card….the border punch makes it. So, is it that EK Success border punch that is the brace? I looked on-line and saw one but it had a little embossing just slightly in from the cut edge….I can’t see it on your picture…same punch? You did a fabulous job with this card, and I would really like to have that border punch. Can you help me? Thanks so much.
Love the wavies with the punched border – really neat look.
Oh Karen, this is fabulous – what a brilliant idea with the waves – so inspirational. LOVE the colours too – LOVE IT ALL!

Terrific use of the punch here with one of my all-time favorite SU colors – Soft Sky.
Of course, I LOVE this one… and it’s okay – waves are not straight! š
