UK ATC May Theme - Sea

I am using some of the pages from my French dictionary on these cards, choosing pages that have a nautical image.  I made three of them along the same lines.

I swiped a dark blue stamp over the background, and then added some sentiments which I found on the internet and printed out in blue.  Placing them across the card, in no particular direction, I swiped a paler blue intermittently over them and realised I needed to add some other colour.
I used a wheel diecut that I won from Robyn's giveaway, on this first card.


I found some translucent shell 'beads' in my stash and added them along the lower edge of this card.


Some beautiful starfish buttons, hiding in another little stacker, fitted beautifully along the lower edge of this card.

I made an extra for the Hostess but made it totally different.



Using a blue metallic ink I spritzed the card and, when dry, I placed some sign posts.
I made these by cutting up the left over sentiments and attaching them to some wallpaper shapes.  A small strip of paper for a pole and those signs are posted!
I love this, so simple yet so goood.   I don't say that very often do I?!?!
