Ahoy! Nautical Theme for The Paper Players

 Hi friends! When we had children at home, and I was their teacher, I loved back-to-school days. As a retiree now, I want to hang on to summer for as long as I can! We still have another month of actual summer, so I'm sticking with it and the Nautical Theme at The Paper Players #605 is helping. 
Our wonderful hostess Laurie is asking for CAS cards as well. 

I have so many nautical stamps it was hard to narrow down which ones to use, but the You Anchor Me stamps from Memory Box won out as I love the sentiments. 



To make the anchor stand out as an interesting focal point, I embossed it in WOW! Perissa embossing powder. The mix of metallics and chunkiness of the powder really add texture to the image. 

I sure hope you will find time to play along with us in this challenge! We love seeing your creations in the gallery! 

Be yourself.

     Find delight in your craft.

             Make something beautiful!

I LOVE nautical cards and this one is fabulous! The anchor looks incredible, and it looks as if it's been in the water for a hundred years. Brilliant idea!
