Nautical Thanks

 Good Morning!


This card will be entered into the following Challenges:

Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!


This is for our favorite restaurant owner, Gabe.
He runs the Hot Stove Saloon in Harwich Port and we have been 
going there for 20 years, since he opened.
Back in 2017 when he found out we were going to be Grandparents he gave 
us a sweet little HSS T-shirt for the baby, Penny.
Last week we had her for a few days and took her there, she finally 
got to meet Gabe and when he saw her he said 'come with me'
Penny is now the owner of a very stylish HSS Sweatshirt!
Gabe is just too, too kind!

Oh, and if you ever go, order the Zucchini Fries!

Love making 'metal' look old by creating rust and/or patina.


Spellbinders Standard Circle and Welcome Fall, sign dies.
MFT Pennant Flag dies.
The Greetery Summertime Findings dies, shells and bottle,
Curio Cover Collection 'Hardware' dies, Shiplap Builder dies.
Fish Net die.
Simon Says Sail Away stamp and die sets.




Gold Embossing Powder.
Echo Park Letter Stickers.
Brads.
String (colored with a Copic Marker).
Foam Sheets.





YUM!






Love that aged and weathered look!





I find it helpful to start with a shade of blue or teal card stock
when creating a patina.
This looks blue here but there is much more green in it.




Thanks for sailing by!

Enjoy~~
