I had so much fun with this month's kit...LOVE the nautical theme!  Here's a peek at both of my cards that I made especially for today's hop:

First up is my shaker card!  Isn't the shaker mix by Lucy absolutely fabulous?  I'll start from the bottom of my card and work my way up!  I used Midnight Layering paper that I stamped the Irregular Grid Bold Prints in Wet Cement Shadow Ink. 

I used Mint Julep + Tide Pool on the Jelly Fish.  The sentiment has been stamped with Wet Cement.  I did a quick watercolor wash with my Peerless watercolors.  The seam binding ribbon is from my stash.

Next up is a Go with the Flow card:

For those of you that have been following me for awhile, yes, I've warmed up to purple!  I used the Waves Stencil in Pool.  I used Intense Black for the sentiment.  I stamped the Octo and the Turtle with the Dolphin Ombre pad...isn't it AWESOME?

I used Floral Mix Layering papers for the strips on the side.
