Hello Stampers~
Are you enjoying the JustRite samples that the Stampers Dream Team have been sharing this week? I have to confess, that although I truly do love all of the new JustRite sets this month...this one's my fave. I just adore those beautifully detailed scenes!
In addition to the By the Sea Borders and Centers set, I used Martha Stewart's Shells Border Punch and some serene papers from Webster's Pages. I haven't added a sailor knot to a card in a while, but thought it complimented the theme perfectly. It's funny...I don't believe I've ever used rope AND pearls on the same card before; but I am quite pleased with the way it turned out.
The card size is 5-1/4" square.
Here's a close-up of the scene, which I colored with Copic markers on Neenah white cardstock.
Isn't that a delicious scene? It just takes me to that beautiful place....sigh.
Here are the Copic markers that I used to color the image:
