Paper Smooches Sparks Cool Shades May 2013

 

Another nautical theme, isn't it fun that PS now has all this cool nautical themed stuff? Today I used the awesome sailboat die, "Chit Chat," and "Summer Grooves" to create this card. Its hard to tell from the pic, but the ribbon is navy blue striped, and those are little wooden stars on the washi tape. I have a feeling that I will be using this sailboat die a lot..its so versatile! You can easily change the flag and sails. Here are the colors we were given this week to play with:

Paper Smooches Sparks Trend Watch May 2013

 

This week's Trend Watch challenge is Nautical. I had this fun paper that I won awhile back and when I took it out and decided to go with the fish paper, I knew right away that I had to use some of the new PS dies I recently received. The little fish is from the sailboat die. The waves are from the borders die. The sentiment is from the "Surf and Turf" set. The pearls are from Q&Co and the cardstock is from PTI. The patterned paper is from Pink Paislee.

 

Do you have any nautical stamps? Why don't you play along this week? Here is the inspiration photo:
