I hope you're not tired of nautical themed cards yet because I have another one to share! I really wanted to use my new set, The Open Sea and I combined it with the lovely MOJO Monday sketch.
I went for a collage stlye with muliple images and casual layering. I stamped several images on Very Vanilla card stock and then sponged to add distressng with Sahara Sand ink. The Baja Breeze layer was embossed with the Square Lattice die, then I lightly brayered just the raised portion with Soft Suede ink.
The sentiment is from the Word Play set, it's on sale this month and it a great deal! You can find out about this special at my online store HERE. I stamped it twice and popped up the arrow for a focal point.
The Baker's Twine wraps around the Postage punched DP embellished with a Build-A-Brad and a key. I love using the keys, and discovered that using a glue dot to adhere it worked so well because I could tuck it under the postage stamped piece and it lays flat.
Hope you enjoy my creation and have a great day!

Oh wow!!! LOVE all those great images you put on the Vanilla piece - and they go together so well. And the Build-a-Brad caught my eye immediately!!
SO glad to have you back stamping and blogging again!!
