Sail Away

I have been in a really beachy mood lately.  Stamps, embellishments, colors...yep, all beachy.  That made the CAS-ual Friday Challenge this week all the more appealing to me.  I broke out the Silhouette and went to work and here's what I came up with:

 


Stamps:  Communique Sentiments (PTI)
Inks:  Soft Brown (Hero Arts)
Cuts:  Sail Boat (Echo Park), Ric Rac Tiny (Silhouette)
Paper:  Tide, Shallows, Grenadine, Latte (Hero Arts), Pure Poppy Pattern Pack (PTI)
Misc:  Foam Tape (Scotch), Scor Tape, Bling

 Thanks, Karolyn, for reminding me that I intended this card for another challenge as well!  It took me so long to finish the design, creation, and blog post that I totally forget that I also intended to enter this card in the awesome new Cameo challenge blog, The Cameo Spotlight's challenge.  It's perfect for that challenge as well and both challenges were the inspiration behind this card.  Thanks again, Karolyn!

    This is super cute and very summery, too! In fact, it qualifies for the new Cameo Spotlight Challenge blog, too, which is to create a card using a Cameo or Silhouette with summer as the theme - this is perfect!! If you're interested, you can find all of the details here: http://thecameospotlight.blogspot.com/ Thanks so much for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays! We're so glad you did!!

      Thanks, Karolyn! I wasn't even thinking when I finished my post but when I started creating it, I totally had the Cameo Spotlight Challenge in mind as well!
