New ABC Challenges - N for Nautical

Good morning everyone and wishing you all a very happy Sunday.  Well it's the 15th of the month so that means it's time for another new challenge over at ABC Challenges and I'm here to share my DT card with you.

This time our challenge is

I was a little flummoxed when I first saw the theme as I don't possess any nautical stamps and then Tracy at Dies to Die For came to the rescue when she sent me the most fabulous Pion Design papers in my DT box.  These are simply gorgeous and as soon as I saw them knew they would be perfect for my ABC Challenges DT card.  So let me show you my card.

Backing Papers:  Pion Design 'Shoreline Treasures - bottom of the sea & Tags sheet'

Enamel Dots:  My Mind's Eye 'Just Splendid'

Anchor Charm

A bit of a side view for you.  The sentiment was one I found in my stash I think it was a sheet of freebies from a magazine at some point and the embellishments were 'borrowed' from my little girl's stash of goodies she'd collected at the beach which I thought would be just the perfect touch to my card.  The little glass jar was from a pack of 5 I bought ages ago from The Range for the grand old price of £1 and a right bargain I think.

A closer look at the main image.  This was cut from one of the sheets of paper and I just added some glossy accents to make bubbles.

Challenges I would like to enter:

Bunny Zoes  -  layers

Papertake Weekly  -  for the boys

Cute Card Thursdays  -  so macho

Okay time for me to go for now.  Thank you for stopping by and I'll be back later on with a little something Whimsy.

Take care.
