I am back from our July 4th vacation! We spent it at the beach, and I guess those few days there got me in a nautical mood. The beach is not my favorite place (Gasp!, I know, right?) In fact I think I am the only girl in the South that isn't dying to get my toes in the sand. But we went with family and friends, and I did enjoy it. They teased me about turning into a Beach Bum, but it ain't happening. Although, coffee in the morning on the beach was pretty nice, and I came back with a nice tan. And it might have inspired this card....
This is the second week in a row (yay me!) I have been able to participate in the Global Design Project. This week's challenge was a sketch:
I used the sailboats and water die from the Lilypad Lake bundle. My "Hello" greeting came from the Jar of Love set, and I used the 1-3/8" Circle Punch and Layering Circle Framelit Dies to layer it up.
I popped up the sailboats and greeting with dimensionals. The Ruffled embossing folder reminds me of waves; it and the Night of Navy bakers twine added to the nautical theme.
This would make a great masculine card, and it is also great for a beach/ocean lover, which is NOT me, OK? I know some of y'all just can't understand how I could not LOVE the beach. I may not love it like my friends do, but I may or may not be looking forward to my next beach trip. Y'all just don't tell them because I will never hear the end of it!
