Through Life's Storms

verve tpe nautical

Mondays are marvelous!  Why?!  It's The Pink Elephant Challenge Day!  Today, we have a beautiful inspiration photo for you for TPE #216!



I stuck to the a couple of shades from the Dynamic Duos Challenge #69...blue and green were just right for a masculine take on the nautical challenge...and the flags, trims, and general layout of retrosketches #80 worked great, too!  The Paper Issues Challenge: Put Some Twine On It allowed me to do just that...love this Maya Road twine with the tinsel running through it!


I used one of my favorite Verve Stamps sets, Strong Anchor, and its coordinating Nautical Die Set.  The images and sentiment went together so well with the gorgeous Echo Park Reflections papers!
