Peggy gave us a fun color combination today, but for the life of me Pacific Point always means water. I was impressed by a Michael Strong die cut that I saw used a few weeks back and I finally made it over to his site. He doesn't have a HUGE variety, but has some really fun dies and stamps so I ordered me some that arrived yesterday. Stamped the Gecko in Memento Desert Sand and Versamark on Celery and clear embossed. Fussy cut, not realizing that the tail would curl up Ran a white scrap and some Pacific Point through CB EF's, scoring and curling the white to simulate a pool lip. Spread Glossy Accents on a cream card and sprinkled on the Beachy Sand, also from Michael Strong. Mounted the rest, adding a Nestie Labels 10 float with bakers twine. PT - 1
Thank you so much for looking. Have a peaceful day.

I love that his tailed curled up when you fussy cut him, Marie! It really helps 'make' the card! It's got such clean, graphic lines, and I agree with you about Pacific Point always looking like water.
Fab job!
(thanks for leaving me some love - you're a peach!)

I have never heard of Michael Strong but I totally love that gecko and that beachy sand. Wow! This is so great and so fun. I don't think I ever seen a better representation of sand on a card or creation. Love this Marie. Hugz!
