Hi Guys,
Long time no see! I decided to try a new challenge this week and I opted for the Casology Sea Challenge. I live by the sea and some of my favourite creations have had a nautical theme. I had hoped to try making some more Christmas cards but, as usual, I'm avoiding what needs to be done, and I've gone for a valentines/anniversary card instead. Oh well...I'll get to the Christmas cards eventually - enjoy!
I used paper from the 6x6 Let's Polka paper pad from Lawn Fawn. I die cut the wave-shaped edge using a Mama Elephant die and used one of the Landscape Trio dies, also from ME, to create the insert. Next I made an origami sail boat from a peice of music manuscript. I added inlaid die cut hearts using a Simon Says Stamp die and dreamy cloads cut from vellum using a Paper Smooches die. The sentiment was stamped using a mini alphabet stamp from a local stationary store. I adhered my design to a crisp white cardstock base made with Neenah 110lb cardstock, to frame it.

This is a fantastic nautical scene! The monochromatic colour scheme helps to keep it feeling clean even though there's a lot going on here. I also love the pops of red! So glad you joined us at CASology this week - look forward to seeing you again!
