I had a lot of ideas for this one. I had pretty much settle on big flowers with patterned centers - but look what came out of my craft time!!
I seriously sat down to make flowers. I even had them picked out. Then I saw the banner stamps and that got me to thinking about Paper Smooches and I dug through my PS stash, paused on this set and realized how fun it would be with a sailing ship above and anchor below. I'm usually a brute force cardmaker - try this, try that, try again, photo it, photo again, etc.!! So when inspiration strikes, I go with it!!
I hope to see you playing along (maybe some of you will do big flowers!!
