Cards from the Sea



My cards today were prompted by the August Twofer Card Challenge: Nautical. At first I thought it meant boats, lighthouses and the beach but later realized it included sea life. I have a couple PTI sets teeming with turtles, fish, sea horses and reef flora found on the ocean floor. In my stack of hoarded papers I found an ombre piece which looks like expert ink blending and perfect for a CAS ocean background. 
Card #1 
PTI Salt Air: Fauna and Sentiments, Reef Builder dies
Top folding A2 white card base
pattern paper has DI Antique Linen blended sandy bottom

Card #2
PTI Salt Air: Fauna and Sentiments, Shape Shifters: Circle 1 die
The Greetery: Sentiment Suite Basics die
Spellbinders: Circles Nestabilities

As long as the sea creatures and reef dies were 
out I made a third card similar to the first.

Card #3
PTI Salt Air: Fauna and Sentiments, Reef Builder dies, Pierced Feature Frames die
Side folding A2 aqua mist card base



Linking first two cards - Twofer Card Challenge: Nautical,
All three cards - SS Monday/SS Wednesday - both Midsummer Blues.

  1. Your two nautical sea life designs are turtley delightful, Vikki! I'm so glad you realized that sea turtles and sea plants qualify! I love how that pp works so beautifully on your first and third designs and go you for making that third one while your stuff was out! I'm so bad about that so you inspire me! And I love that circle die and swimming pool tile look of your sympathy card! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #19! Hugs, Darnell

  2. Love them all! I don't think I have anything sea related in my vast collection. How can that be? I do have the PTI summer fence line set. I used it several times last year, but haven't brought it out this summer. Time is flying by so it may have to wait until summer 2020.

  3. I, too, think the same as you when I picture "nautical", but Darnell gave us a lot of options and I love her for it. I mean, just look how cute these sea turtles and fishes are. I love them all! So darling, so clean, so beautifully done! Thank you so much for playing along with us at Twofer!

  4. Your turtles are so cute swimming along. YOur different designs show case that turtle well. Glad you came to see how broad the prompt was this month. Thanks for playing along at Twofer Card Challenge #19.
