Caught in A Net - Heart Card

I'm headed to the seashore this week for a wonderful, warm sunny holiday.  
In anticipation, I pulled out the seaside collection by Maja Design called Life by the Sea.  I find this collection to be soothing, peaceful and calming.  It's possibly my favorite collection by Maja - timeless, classic and always comforting.  

I think the only time I'm not comforted by the collection is when it's almost gone.  

These are the papers I used from Life by the Sea by Maja Design

Bottle Message ( A and B side)

  

In order to give my card an extra pop of nautical fun, I added a chipboard heart net from Creative Embellishments and a flair button.  I think the embellishments accent the papers perfectly.

These are the products I used from Creative Embellishments: 

"By The Sea"  Flairs

Fishnet Hearts - chipboard

Here is one last image to show the dimension of the card.

Let's Celebrate Your Birthday - Cards with Gold Chipboard Accents

Creative Embellishments April Monthly Challenge

Have you played along with the Creative Embellishments challenges?  There's no easier way to win some great chipboard!

The great thing about the CE challenge is that your project is based on your interpretation - how the featured image makes you feel, what you sense and see.   Maybe it's the colors that inspire you, or the patterns...totally up to you so nothing can be wrong. 

You can find the rules  of the game here. 

You can enter the challenge by uploading your work on the CE Facebook page. 

For me, the image is festive and happy.  It reminds me of a party - sooooo that's my inspiration this month - celebration and birthday cards. 

I used a combo of Creative Embellishment chipboard and flair buttons to adorn the festive cheery cards.  

The first card features Flourish Presents painted with gold paint, and Happy Birthday Flair Buttons  with edges also dabbed with gold paint to blend with the chippies. 

Shown below:

This is my second festive party card which features 

 Flourish Butterflies and the Happy Birthday Flair Buttons.

The gold paint used is Prima Finnabair's Art Alchemy - Acrylic Paint - Metallique Ancient Coin .  It has a nice metallic finish - not glossy and not flat.  

The paper used is from Hobby Lobby.
