Be Strong & Courageous!

Ahoy there my friends! Summer is winding down...so I figured I would keep on sharing some more Summer projects while there's still time! LOL. It will be time to start thinking Fall here before we can blink an eye! You know I love some nautical shabby chic, and that's just what I have for you today! Flowers, pink, anchors, sequins...yay! And a beautiful Bible verse too. 

I was rattling around in my craft room this morning, organizing and what not. Nothing would come to me...I had no idea what to make today. Then, I spied this gorgeous Webster's Pages paper sitting on my desk...and the card came to me! The stamp is part of a gorgeous set called Safe Harbour Sentiments from Waltzingmouse. All the patterned papers are from Webster's Pages Ocean Melody collection. 

 

 

 

 

I really love the contrast between the woodgrain and the floral and the twine... All those different textures and colors together. And blue and pink is always a winning combination. Stripes too. Yum. 

 

 

 

I stamped my sentiment in Nautical Blue ink from Memento - the perfect match to the navy in the papers. This is one of my favorite Bible verses. How nice of Claire to make it into a stamp for me!! And the little ships' wheel? Awesome. 

 

 

 

Here's a side shot ot my layers. Foam tape - you know me by now! The sentiment panel is wrinkled - I just kind of wrinkled it in the palm of my hand for some added texture. I also distressed the edges of the papers. 

 

 

 

Be strong and courageous indeed! Great message! 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for spending part of your weekend with me! 

Have a fabulous day! XO

I SO love it when you do nautical shabby chic, my friend! Wow, wow, WOW! This is amazing! Such a great combo of floral and woodgrain, and I love the sentiment verse. The little anchor with the rope wrap is beyond perfect, too!
