This is kind of a "less is more" kind of card. No coloring, no beautiful DP--although you might be surprised at what I did use--and it looks AWESOME! :)
The lobster is part of the By The Tide set from Stampin' Up! And it is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto.......wait for it......paint chips! I found these great looking paint chips in Home Depot, in several different colors, here I used a pale blue, a pale green, and a darker blue......oh and they were FREE! The focal image and paint chips are layered onto a light blue, white, and navy blue card stock and then onto a Kraft card stock base. A little jute twine and some white adhesive pearls finish it all off.
I really like the simplicity of this card, VERY nautical......VERY Cape-y to me.
Hope you enjoyed checking it out as well.
Have a fantastic day! Goooooooooooooo SOX!!! (that was for Judy!) :P
Kelly and I have a bunch of paint chips also. Never know when you can use them. Yes, Go SOX.........................
