Phill Martin's Nautical Box Collection

Today I was playing with the Phill Martin box kit that my hubby ordered for me for my birthday, so most materials for these two cards were from that.  

Card #1 (above): The "Serenity" is a stamp from a set called "Faith Greetings" from TPC Studio - cut with a JustRite Die (Antique Labels One). The mermaid, rocks, and seahorse are all heat embossed and colored with Opal Polish so they shimmer and some even flash different colors as moved in the light!  I added a bit of net on the rocks (cut from a bag that avocados came in).  The teal card stock is from my stash.

Inside:

Here the greeting is from the kit, the teal card stock for the border & glitter ribbon were from my stash.

Card #2:

Once again, most materials are from the kit - including the papers used.  However, the white "porthole" was cut from glimmer paper from my stash with silver punched pieces added (and no, there are no glaring pieces missing on the actual card - the light hit them weird so you can't see them well in the picture!)  

Inside:

Inside is mostly stamped images from the set on a plain blue paper that was also in the kit.  I stamped & heat embossed the boat onto a plain piece of white & colored it with Inktense pencils.  I fussy cut it - cutting the strings off for ease of fussy cutting - then drawing them back in when the boat was in place on the background.  The sentiment banner was printed from a Debbi Moore freebie - then stamped with a JustRite stamp from the set called "Grand Sentiments".
