I made a few cards today to show you the different looks you can get using Authentique's Anchoredpaper collection and Petaloo Darjeeling & Forget Me Nots flowers.

I wanted a simple look for this card so you can see how pretty flowers can look with Authentique's Anchoredpaper.

My next card was inspired from my passion of sushi.  I am crazy for sushi and it inspired me to create this card.  I love the flower pattern from the "Anchored"paper collection, which also can be used for an Asian theme.

For my last card, I wanted something fun and simple.  These adorable Forget Me Nots are so cute and perfect for card making so I thought adding them to seaweed would be fun next to Mr. Crab.

Supplies

Petaloo Seaside Darjeeling

Petaloo Forget Me Nots

Authentique Anchored Paper collection

STACY RODRIGUEZ

Hello everyone, Stacy here with you today sharing my project that I created with the amazing Petaloo goodies and Authentique Anchored collection.  When I opened the package and saw the flowers and that pattern paper, I knew I find to find something cool to alter.  I was walking through the store and saw this wooden unfinished boat.....yep had to have it!!!  I simply adore the way this turned out!  Let's start out with what the finished project looks like first.

I have a few photos of different views as well since there is so much to see on this one.

To start this project I painted the boat white, then took my Walnut Stain distress ink and blending tool and inked areas of the boat.  I used the Authentique Anchored collection and adhered it to the outsides and inside of the boat.  Of course since there was the little ledge in the boat when I stood it up I thought a mini album would be the perfect addition to that ledge.  On the bottom of the boat I had some netting in my stash and added that fisrt then it was time to have some Petaloo fun.  I started by placing the flowers on first.  For this I used Petaloo Darjeeling Petities (Teastaine) and Darjeeling Mini Mix (Teastaine & Dahlias).  Once I had the flowers placed I added the glass jar of sand and then placed the Petaloo Sea Shells around the jar and flowers.

Now onto the mini album.  We are taking a trip this Summer and this will be perfect for our beach photos!

The covers are created using chipboard that I covered with the Authentique Anchored collection.  The papers and stickers from this line are simply amazing!!  The binding of the album was done using the Cinch machine.

I used all of the same flowers on the mini album as I did on the boat itself.  On the binding I added the fabulous Petaloo Fancy Trims in Taupe that really sets the album off.

The inside of the album I used the pattern paper as the pages.

Supplies Used:

Petaloo -

Fancy Trims (Taupe)

SeaShell Bag

Darjeeling Petites (Teastaine)

Darjeeling Mini Mix (Teastaine & Dahlias)

Authentique - Anchored Collection

 

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today, hope you have a wonderful day!

What a wonderful way to end your hop these projects are so wonderful I am a cancer girl and am always drawn to ocean themed projects the 3 cards would look so great in my little beach cottage. And the boat belongs on a shelf next to some big seashells. I could fill that adorable scrapbook in about 2 minutes with pictures of my two grand babies. This has just simply been the most fantastic week for a blog hop. I am so lucky to have seen all these amazing works of art. Thank you to all the design team members from both Authentique and Petaloo. You all rocked it this week.
