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.

This is a fun card. Thanks for sharing!
I love this, Maria! And I LOVE what that potato sac did, and that you didn't let it cover the panel completely. Man...I'm gonna have to try that! It really is the perfect look for your card, and I especially love it on white! Such a wonderful creation!!!
Congrats on your guest spot! I am totally loving your card, Maria! The debossing with the sack was genius--it gives the card such an interesting texture. Great mix of patterns (are you linking to the MFW challenge?).
WOW, what a FABULOUS card, Maria! Love how you achieved the texture, love the design & colors. Well done!
Congratulations, on the Cloud 9 guest design spot!

This is what I came here for. Saw this earlier in the week on Moxie Fab and totally FELL. IN. LOVE. So very different, well-balanced, and just darn fun to look at. Then I read your post and saw you ran the netting through to get the textured panel. Who thinks of that?! I love it!!
