By the Sea

Hello everyone. I have been busy outside doing yard work and cleaning the garden beds the last few days and have not spent much time blogging and card making. We finally got some sunshine and warmer temperatures so I am taking advantage of the weather. After the winter we had, it is a much welcomed  relief  to be outside. Also doing some house maintenance and preparing to have the house painted  soon. That's what you do when retireed....thought this card was appropriate for today since I made it as a Retirement Card.
I am posting this one that I made sometime ago but never posted. I found some challenges that it fits so thought this would be a good time to show. I did paper piecing for the sea  and used several layers of mats. Fairly simple card.

Challenges:
City Crafters: Theme is by the sea.
Papertake Weekly: Use punch or dies.
Tuesday Throwdown: Use die cuts
Simon Says: Use paper piecing.

Stamps: Saiboat by Alex Stamping, Sentiment by MFP's
Ink: Memento Rhubarb Stalk
 Bazzill Cardstocks Snow, Vanilla, Lagoon, Watermelon
Nesties Oval dies.
Brads from stash.
