Welcome to day two of the MHK Designs August release. To visit Mynnette's Etsy store, click HERE. I have no doubt there is something for everyone.
The next set that I got to work with, was Serene Seaside.
Here is the card I made.
The nautical theme is popular these days. I wanted to create something with this awesome anchor, so I enlarged it and paper pieced it with some light aqua patterned paper. You can't see it that well, but in real life, it adds a little bit more interest. I masked it, so I could stencil the background, to look a bit like netting. I then added a bit of sea green colored splatters to the top left and bottom right. I didn't want to hide the anchor, so I printed the sentiment on vellum, and added it over the anchor. I like how it turned out. This sentiment is perfect for a special someone I'm going to send it to, who just happens to live on the East Coast. I hope he likes it. I'm going to submit this card for the following challenges.
Crafty Cardmakers #145: Warm Summer Colors (The nautical theme reminds me of summer, hope this counts)
