Sail Away


 My head is still at the shore and lovin' everything nautical!  Even though my vacation has drawn to a close, I could still keep some lovely coastal memories alive in my craft room today!

For my card, I created a colored embossing paste and used STAMPlorations Anchors Away stencil and added some Distressed Oxide Inks.  The pierced oval frame is from My Favorite Things which I cut from dark blue cardstock and cork.  Then, I colored and fussy cut the sailboat and lighthouse images from STAMPlorations True North set - one of my fav 'masculine' go to sets! - and added the sentiment from STAMPlorations Fond Expressions 2 set.  To finish, I knotted some thick white rope and attached it along the side.


Thanks to these challenges for the inspiration:
