When I don't have any ideas for a new sketch, I usually just pull out my bin of scrap paper and start layering things together until I see something I like. That's how this sketch came together... everything but the mats and stamped pieces from my scrap pile. The colors made me think nautical, so I pulled out Strong Anchor and stamped the rope frame in Crumb Cake and the sentiment in Midnight Muse. Next I stamped the anchor and cut with the coordinating Nautical Die Set. I wrapped the twine around the horizontal banner, then attached my anchor die cut. The wave in the background is a TCP die and I accented it with some frosty lace stickles. Then it was simply a matter of distressing some edges and I was done.
There are still some used stamps and dies listed on my personal For Sale page. I added some stamps from The Cat's Pajamas as well as more Spellbinders dies and some of my cards (including the one featured today) to the listings over the weekend.

Great colours, textures and imagination, thanks Julee.
I have entered 2 cards myself and have to appologise as 1 is not linked to anything and the other is linked to I have no idea who. Not at all happy with the website it is linked to and don't know how to cancel it. So SORRY SORRY SORRY.
Think I'll just stick to making cards and staying off the net.
Thanks again for your creation
