Beside the Seaside for the Paper Players



Hello Paper Player fans! Today's challenge is from Joanne:


I LOVE making nautical cards!

A loooong time ago, I bought Dinamics Snowdrifts coverup die. I made a ton of them in various colors...I still remember how much fun I had doing that. It's like putting together puzzles.

I grabbed this one in blues for my ocean wave background, and added the net from Cottage Cuts Paddles and Rope die, and a sailboat from Impression Obsession. I stamped the sentiment from Frantic Stampers onto the boat, and added my usual...an enamel dot..this time a blue star!

Love that wavy die Laurie and those bold blocks of blue colour, so effective! The rope detail is a fun way to add extra interest and I can never resist a punny sentiment! A fabulous card for my theme this week!

Leslie Miller said...

Dang, Laurie, it's perfect and I love it! Why, oh, why do I not make more nautical cards when they're such a favorite to look at? I have all the stuff. Your sailboat is so cute with the sentiment and star.

How cute, Laurie! I love the waves created by your snowdrift die! These colors are so cool together. And the sentiment is adorable. Stamping it directly on the boat is so clever. Have a wonderful week!

This die is perfect for snowbanks AND waves, as this cute card attests! Love your little ship but that knotty diecut in the background is the BEST!

Laurie, that netting behind the yacht is a fabulous element. It adds another layer of texture and dimension to an already wonderful card. LOVE IT!
