Paper Smooches SPARKS May Cool Shades challenge {post1}

Hello, friends:}

**After 9amEST--please click HERE or scroll up/down for my Mama Elephant highlight post! 

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! The third week of the month is always a Cool Shades challenge.  

This week we are inspired by the following color story "Nautical"

Red, Kraft, Navy, Teal

Ok... so I was trying to go REAL CAS with my card today... however, this sentiment took over 2 hours to make! I had to restamp it twice... and matching each letter from different sets was hard-- but TOTALLY worth it:) 

I used some Bazzill Basics Paper with some Fancy Pants Designs Trendsetter scrap pieces-- LOVE! Plus, I used 7 Paper Smooches stamp sets for this sentiment including Hope, Market Fresh, Spiritual Sampler, Joyful Greetings, Daisies & Paisleys, Wicked Nauticool, and Hubby and Wifey. I also used the Anchor and Wedding Shower dies. LOOOOOOOVE how this card turned out:)

I used a navy ink with teal and red papers on a kraft background. Looks simple... but you know me!! I always have to make things difficult or more complicated than it needs to be:) LOL! 

I've been wanting to use this sentiment on a card for awhile-- LOVE!

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs and leave them some love. ***This is actually the last PSS challenge for these gals. I'm so thankful that I was able to work with them-- it has been a blast! I love each of their styles and designs-- I've been blown away with each of their creations!! Please stop by their blog and let them know you love their work too!!
