As soon as I saw this week's challenge, I knew that I wanted to use it pretty literally. I love the color scheme and I had been looking for an excuse to use my "By the Tide" stamp set again. I decided on Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake and Whisper White which is pretty similar to the color scheme in the photo and feels so fresh and clean to me. I also decided to keep with the nautical theme because I'm itching for summery beaches & also because it is a pretty universal theme.
Whenever possible, I like to decorate the inside of my cards, too, as an added touch and happy surprise to the recipient.
The products I used are cardstock in Whisper White, Midnight Muse, and Crumb Cake, as well as ink in Midnight Muse and Crumb Cake. I embellished it with the 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon in Midnight Muse (#126847). The images came from the "By the Tide" stamp set (clear #129120, wood #131910) and the sentiments came from the "Express Yourself" stamp set (clear #130339, wood #130336), which you can earn for free with a qualifying order.
