Today’s project is for the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge this week.  Patti created a fabulous sketch.  The layout gives you a lot of room to play with patterns and shapes, and of course, add a sweet sentiment.

So, I had some fun with patterns from the “Going Places” Designer Series Paper Stack featuring my very favorite Lost Lagoon… that warm blue is outstanding!

Going Places DSP Stack – #140581

Lost Lagoon, nautical patterned paper and star fish…  I think I’m ready for the beach, but with the temperature at 35 here in New Jersey, I’ll have to wait a while.

Picture Perfect Stamp Set – #140520

• The very detailed star fish stamps and the sentiment stamp are from the “Picture Perfect” stamp set.
• Some two-step stamping created the beautiful detail in the star fish – my first layer is stamped with Delightful Dijon and the second layer is Mossy Meadow.
• A little fussy cutting and some Stampin’ Dimensionals give the star fish some prominence in this design.  They hold up well against the busy pattern behind them.
• I created the square frame using my Squares Framelits and attached it with a few glue dots since the star fish needed to take the lead.
• A few sequins and a simple sentiment finished my project.

So, grab some pretty patterned paper, add a frame and a few sequins and create something wonderful to link up with the Pals.
