At first I thought this was going to be a difficult layout; then I thought I'd just make a scene out of it. I'm sure everyone is tired of my nautical designs, but here is yet another. I used Distress stain to create the sand and sea. Dies: SB/pierced rectangles, classic circles - PS/marina sailboats - IO/shore birds and sea birds - MFT/fishtail flags, greetings. Dots are covered with glossy accents.

I never tire of beach/water themed cards and given where you live, I imagine you have lots of inspiration! This is just such a clever use of the sketch and as always, your use of die cuts is amazing! Love the coloring of the sand, water and sky, and the pop of red on the boat's sail.

I'm not tired of it, in fact, I love it!!! You had the best idea for this and your nautical theme is perfect!!! I'm thinking that I will try making a scene too because otherwise there is no room for an image! Great idea Priscilla! I love your colors and the little sailboat in the circle plus those birds are wonderful! Love how you did your dots/embellishments on the left side to reflect the colors of your scene!! Totally cool!

Love your nautical scene, especially the RED sails!! (in the sunset??) I would love to hide out with you. Someday we need to meet for real........we're close enough to get together!

You'll grab both my eye and Roberta's with nautical scenes with our Navy DH's. Love the way this really pops and your diecut fishtail flags have such great depth! Love it!

I'm not tired of your nautical cards...you live in an area where they are a natural. Love how you used the banners as your seashore scene and the red sailboat as the accent.
