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.
