Good Morning, friends!
What a gorgeous weekend at the ocean ~
sand in our toes, salt water breezes, great surf and gorgeous weather :)
And WAY too much food!
I'm truly blessed to live here in South Florida, surrounded by the sea ♥
We did have some unexpected excitement while swimming ~
a shark fin popping out of the water about 30' away. Yikes!
I also managed to slice my foot on something sharp, most likely coral rock.
Now that we're home, my foot is propped up ...
perfect for stamping!
Today's card...
I. love. this. card!
It was inspired by the sea and my love of all things nautical ♥
The ocean is my happy place!
The stamp is from The Project Bin Stamps
using the new A Way With Words "Born Yesterday" stamp set.
So many fabulous stamps for birthdays in this set.
It's stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black - but how pretty this would be
stamped in ocean colors or even a beautiful Kraft or Crumb Cake :)
I added a few flower, buttons, some interloped twine
and this card came together beautifully.
Stop on over and see all the new release The Project Bin Stamps,
including the new Christmas stamps to get a jump start on holiday cards.
WAVE-ing to you all and sending
Big hugs, bigger Blessings!

Well, that was disappointing, Kelly! I left my comment and then the page self-refreshed somehow! LOL I'm so longing to visit where your card was made! LOL Beautiful Florida-ish beachy colors, and a fantastic card design. Your happy little flowers with button faces, and the fun sentiment make your card perfect for anyone! It's a wonderful creation! Hope you are enjoying a great week-end! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteWow what a beautiful sea inspired creation Kelly, the wood effect papers, the sentiment and overall design is absolutely fabulous, I love it

Fabulous card, it has a lovely feel of sea! Wonderful paper, frame and colours and this big stamp is really beautiful, it "makes" a card!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your feet!
I'm so sorry about your foot, but I'm glad you got some fun in before the injury and also glad the shark stayed 30' away. This card is SUCH and eye catcher. I love it...everything about it. I can definitely see the inspiration in it.
ReplyDeleteOkay, same thing just happened to me as Donna...the page refreshed and I lost my comment :( Your card is absolutely gorgeous, Kelly!! I love the beautiful paper and the sentiment!! It looks amazing!! The ocean is my happy place, too...I just wish I lived closer :( I hope your foot feels better soon and heals quickly. On a too-funny coincidental side note, I have the TV on as I type and it's an old episode of CSI where there's a shark in the pool ;) Have a great evening my friend!! Big hugs :)

Lovely card! Great design, and I really like that sentiment. Long time since I have been to the beach (about + years) I miss it. Sorry about your foot...Hope all is fine now.
ReplyDeleteI love this card Kelly. The sentiment is perfect and I love the colors and layout of your card!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Kelly- love the combo of colors- and can see how they are beach inspired! I love your buttons as flowers, and the whisp of twine is such a great look. Ohh, sorry about your foot, and yikes on the shark fin....! Did you get the heck out of the water right then and there??? Kids too?
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Kelly - love the weathered wood look of the paper and the fabulous lace and ribbon combination.
ReplyDeleteGlad the shark was no nearer to you, and praying that your foot heals quickly
Blessings
