I cut several strips of paper and glued them to a card base. Loved the look and feel of creating my own paper.

This is sneak peek # 2.
I stamped on top of the stripes with this stamp set from Kelly Purkey. Perfect for all of your nautical needs. I hope next time you think "nautical" you might think butterflies too?

Loved all of the nautical themed cards. I have to apologize for calling the white caps "fluffy clouds" in my comment over at SSS. I also loved the way you mounted the glossy anchor using braided twine. Just wonderful!

Yes, I visit SSS Blog daily! Beautiful cards, Kathy, as always!
Love your patriotic cards. Wonderful ideas and different.
Great r/w/b cards! Nice two- layered butterfly, the one being so delicate. I followed the SSS post to your blog. LOVED the anchor card w/the wht/blu + med. blue + hot pink. Cool! :)
you know, nautical is one card I've never done, but you have inspired indeed....heading over to sss to see what those white caps are made up.

Kathy, your cards amaze me! I visited the Simon Says blog, too. Your nautical cards are so well thought out, designed and the cards are so impressive.
Great card awesome butterfly, I visited SSS blog
I've left a comment on SSS Blog. Thanks again for all your inspiration.
No problem Kathy, nobody likes spam. I love your nautical butterfly. What I loved most was that you used the positive and the negative of the butterfly die. I think this way you can get more uses out of any die. Dies are my favorite crafting tool!
lovely creation i love the colors you are so talented, . thanks for the chance
Wonderful cards, I visited SIS and make a comment. Love all this inspiration for father's day.
I left a comment over at SS blog. I just love your work. I love the backgrounds on each of these cards and how unique they are! That whale had me smiling. Funny thing, I put up a pirate card I did today and it sort of is "nautical" in it's own way.. Made me chuckle at the theme!
Hello Kathy. I have always loved nautical themes. Your *outside the boat* twist is genius! I have never used flower soft but your waves have inspired me to try it. Congrats on joining the SSS design team! I left a comment on their blog. I don't blog. My email addy is: aqua.blues@yahoo.com.
I left a comment on SSS blog. Visit your blog daily to see your wonderful creations. Today's cards are terrific. Would love to win the falling stars die.
I've left a message on SS...I love your whale card. It's so clever, and full of terrific techniques! Thanks for sharing.
I don't really understand how to "identify" myself on these comment boxes. It always tells me what I chose won't work. Help!
Your cards are fabulous!! I love how you used hot pink and a lighter shade of blue!! Your card with the little whale was so creative!
Hi Kathy - your cards are fabulous as always. I've been to the SSS Blog and said the same :)
Love the whale card!!! Took a stroll over at the SSS Blog and left a comment about your card! Thanks for the chance to win!
Great project and I just love that die! It's on my wish list.
Gorgeous cards here and at SSS...thanks for giving me more RW&B inspiration. I've def been on a kick lately with these colors. Thanks so much for sharing!
Just visited the SSS blog. Love the whale card. So cute. But my fav is the butterfly,the best is yet to come.
Love your nautical butterfly, Kathy! On my way to SSS!
Love the butterfly and the whale... The whale would be a good little boy birthday card, too. (Commented on SSS earlier)
Came over from Simon Says Stamp. I love anything nautical, but these are over-the-top great. I just saw Flower Soft at the store last week and couldn't figure out what it was for. Using it for the waves is so clever.
The nautical look is so cute. I love the whale the most!!!!!

Hi Kathy! Hope you are having a great start to summer. I love your nautical cards.
