Spring Breezes

When I think of spring I am reminded of lovely afternoons and evenings spent at Whiskytown Lake in Northern California.  We loved our pontoon boat because we wanted to relax not work and besides we had no sailing experience; however, we enjoyed watching the numerous sailboats on the lake  pitch and yaw. I also loved the sketch at Cardabilites so much I decided to take it out for a third spin!  This time I made a more masculine card using some scraps from other projects. I used the  Marina Sailboat die by Poppy Stamps for this card and some MFT nautical dies. I also used a Spellbinders fir die(I thought it looked like sea weed and the IO hydrangea to look like sea grass.   I will enter this at the Poppy Stamps Challenge Here . and Cardabilities Here

    Oh I love this! The sailboat is awesome but I really am enjoying the layering of the anchor and wheel and all that 'seaweed' that looks fabulous! This is really GREAT!

    Wonderful masculine card with all the nautical touches and I love your creative thinking to adapt "regular" dies to your theme. Thanks so much for joining us at Poppystamps this month!

    Amazing they way that you have used this sketch 3 times and made it look different. This masculine take is wonderful. Love how you arrange the dies in the design to look like sea weed and the focal image is right on.

    Oh my gosh, Kathy, this is stunning. I love how you always use flourishes and other bits for embellishment - very effective. Love your colors and background too - this is just amazing! You never disappoint me!!!
