This card is for the Twisted Sistahs Challenge which was presented by our fearless leader, wannabcre8ive. Shirley asked as to think about the ocean, using swimmers, boats, whales and such and use ribbon or baker's twine plus at least one embellishment. I went with the boat. I used the single stamp, "Sail Away" and masked and sponged. I used the Cherry Cobbler/White Baker's Twine and some shell beads I had. The background is embossed with the Square Lattice EF. If you'd like to join us for this challenge, please use TSC0729 in your keywords. Thanks for taking a peek!!
This is very pretty. I like your sponging on here. Also I like that you made your boat look bigger by making your paper smaller. Cute treatment at the bottom with the twine and charms.

Wow CA! Another awesome guy card. You and Silly have both done fantastic jobs with the same image. Those little shell beads are the perfect touch but I have to say, I really do like the subtle feel of your image background. Very calming, soothing.

Sistah, this is one finely textured masculine delight! Your baker's twine is perfection! Love how the sunset is reflecting in the bg- makes me want to rest on this fine craft and sail away. Beautiful! LYMI
