SOTC= Sisterhood of the Traveling Cards
This group has now been 'together' for three years and was lovingly started by our friend Kadie
from Seattle...She's the one who 'cemented' this on line friendship and also one of the sweetest people I have met on line! Hopefully, we will soon meet for real since we really don't live THAT far from each others...perhaps 3 to 4 hrs drive, duable,right? :o)
Back on track:we take turn,each month, to make 5+1 cards in order to swap creative ideaswith each other (the +1 is for the hostess)
This month is Twila's turn to play hostess and she chose a nautical theme and, must confess, I almost did not partecipated (it would have been a first for me!) simply because I don't own ANYTHING to do with ships and such. Gladly I was told later, that it could be anything pertaining the sea....fish, shells, etc....so I took a long, deep breath of relief and dusted off one of the lovely sets I bought at least a couple years ago but never inked until now *gulp*....and here's my creative result on this months friendly 'challenge'.
Do you think it turned out ok? Your feed back is important to me, and I'd love some constructive criticism from my friends, stampers and otherwise...*thank you* :o)

Well, I adore your card! So much better than mine....lol
I would like to say you used Smooch to highlight your flower? But, it could be regular nail polish, know your love of girly-ness!
This is a beautiful card. I have all the sketch stamps and I love using them. Well done.
Paola, i absolutely fell in love with your cards. I like the shell stamp and this image is great. Very beautiful my friend...HUGS
