Because it's the last hop, the theme is Anything Goes. You won't be surprised to see that I've gone fishing. Again.
Inspired by these double patterns, I stamped, masked and stamped again (on PP even) to create the focal image and then added some summery PPs too. I ran my cardbase through my Big Shot using a piece of a plastic potato sack to create a debossed pattern mimicking the fish net! TIP: Two spritzer from a mini mister before embossing help get a good pattern on the CS but don't warp it.
A sentiment stamped two-tone and a few enamel dots (yep, I've jumped on the wagon) and voila!
Join the last hurrah fun. Check out the design teams cards and then make a card using WPlus9 product and link it up. There's a prize to be had. And when the fun's over at Cloud9, check out the Monday Mood Boards over at Dawn W.'s WPlus9 blog.
