Today's card is for two challenges. The current Embellish challenge with a nautical theme and a PTI Peeps challenge, hosted by Cammie back in June, where we were to make a masculine card. I bought this wonderful set by Wilson Designs some time ago and had only inked one stamp. So glad to get it out again and play. The waves were made with a circle punch and the twine trim has a sailor's knot. I started out with just the waves and then realized that an extra layer of paper to create a horizon worked better. I fussy cut the sailboat and the life preserver and added a little light blue with a Copic marker to hopefully help blend in with the sky. Love this stamp set!
Every day here is over 100 degrees--even got up to 111! Lots of time is devoted to just keeping our flowers alive. They look terrible so I'm just hoping they all make it through the summer.
So glad you were able to visit--come back soon!

Beautiful Sharron! I love the graphic feel you've given this - it's so clean and crisp! And the twine along the bottom is perfect!
Very cute. The scallops look great as waves. Sorry it is so hot there and taking a toll on your flowers. Hopefully some of our rain will come your way soon.
So, so cute! Those waves look fantastic, and I adore your twine treatment. Thanks for joining us at Embellish!
Your sailor's knot is the perfect touch! Great card!
