AAA Cards new game #59 is up. This time, the challenge is EMBOSSING. The winner will receive a $20.00 gift certificate from our wonderful sponsor:
I find that I often look at things with an eye for how I can transform what I see onto a card. Last summer I saw this beach bag behind someone's chair and snapped a pic. (My kids are horrified when I do this, but they are used to it).
The stitched square border is popped up to frame the embossed square. I embossed the ocean symbol in aqua EP and placed it on the banner die with the sentiment which is also popped up. I needed something else in aqua color for balance, so I added the twine to the anchor.
I am linking to the following challenges:
As You See It #125. Highlight a sentiment that speaks to you. This one is so appropriate for so many situations. A message of hope and encouragement. I use it often.
Paper: PTI Kraft, SU Not Quite Navy, SU Brushed Silver, Neenah Solar White.
Stamps: SSS Sail Away
Accessories: SSS Sail Away Dies, SSS Diagonal Stripe Stencil, WOW Cable Car Red EP, Zing Aqua EP, PTI Square Shaker Shapes, Paper Smooches Anchor Die, Twinery twine, 3M Foam Tape.
Ink: VersaMark, VersaFine Onyx Black.
Please head on over to the AAA Cards Challenge Blog and check out what my teammates have created to inspire you. Leave them a little love, then join us for our Embossing challenge.

Hi Stephanie : )
Thank you for visiting my blog and for your sweet compliments and invitation! to join your challenge. I will head over there and do it now : )
You are so kind and talented too! I love your card. I had to giggle because I do the same thing. It might be a table cloth in a store or someone's front porch giggles but I love finding inspiration in things like your beach bag!
have a great day!

That sentiment - so vital to life, and I love the bold anchor that symbolizes it! Thanks for sharing it all with us at As You See It Challenges this week.
How clever!! This card is great, and really reflects the inspiration pic (btw I do this too. Even clothes on people ... :| ) The sentiment is so so nice and really inspirational.
Wonderful embossing idea, looks really effective. Love the nautical theme and colours too.
Fabulous card and I love the story that inspired it! I am always looking around for inspiration too but I haven't been brave enough to snap a picture (yet!).
Clever you to see inspiration anywhere and everywhere, and to snap a photo for a 'down the road' translation! Your card is a marvelous rendition of the nautical-themed bag...ingenious!
