Boating


My turn to host the challenge this fortnight at Crafty Ribbons and I chose nautical as my theme. I had a completely different idea in my head with an image when I chose the theme but having discovered this photo in my oddments pile decided to use it instead.  I made a 7"x7" card, LOTV Up, Up and Away paper, fresh stripe ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and some pearls. The photo was taken on Lake Maggiore in Italy and I didn't want to over embellish it. Hubby really liked it when I showed him so hopefully someone will like it enough to buy it.

It's a beautiful photo and looks fab on that lovely turquoise DP. I like the way you did the ribbon here too - very 'steamlined' for want of a better word!

Big hugs, Kat xx
