By the Tide...

"Sitting on the Dock of the Bay"...This would be an appropriate name for this stamp set, right?  This nautical collage almost looks like designer paper.  Here's a few quick Tips & Tidbits when creating this card...

• The coral is inked in Sahara Sand, stamped off, before stamping on the Very Vanilla cardstock.
• The words are stamped in Crumb Cake.
• The lobster is inked in Calypso Coral, stamped off, before stamping on the Very Vanilla cardstock.
• I used the Stampin' Distress Tool (located in the new catty on page 157) to "rough-up" the edges and curl the right top corner of the Very Vanilla cardstock.
• The Very Vanila cardstock is "pop-up" with Stampin' Dimensionals.
