NancyRuth challenged us to do a 'Summer Fun' card this week. In this heat, I think sailing would be the perfect place to be. I used my Impressabilties Sea
Scape from Mark's Finest Papers to do a letterpress with Impressabilities for the background.

Wow... this really brings to mind a day of relaxation, complete with a cool breeze and waves gently lapping along side the hull. Love the maritime images, and LOVE the frame around your sailboat!

Oh how I just adore this card. I was looking for a background like that a couple weeks ago. It is so versatile for your summer vacation photos and making cards Your creation is exceptional from the calming blue waters to the delightful shells. Very impressive Benzi.

Fabulous!!! Love the BG paper and the beach theme! Lots of sailboats are heading out to the water in our area - a definite sign of summer. Well done, Benzi ;D

I love it!! Look at all of those pretty sea shell shapes you used I love the sailboat and the little frame you fashioned for it. The hemp cord looks so very nautical, somehow!! Great work, Benzi
