All week our design team is sharing inspiration using some of their favorite products from our retiring list and today we are featuring projects by Naki and Ellen!

Our first project today is this gorgeous sea themed card by Naki:

Naki created a gorgeous nautical project today that has so many fun details! She created that lovely bottle image using our retiring Message in a Bottle Die Set and filled it with sea colored beads. Inside the bottle she layered the image of the kraken from the retiring Message in a Bottle Stamp Set to layer over the top, coloring it in soft yellow. She also added the scroll from Message in a Bottle Stamp Set and added the sentiment onto the scroll. The little anchor in front completes the underwater scene and she even added a tiny chain for an extra fun detail! The waves in the background were created using our Waves Stencil

Next, we have a beautiful fairytale scene on this card by Ellen: 

If you love fairytales this gorgeous scene by Ellen will steal your heart! She created a scene full of adventure featuring the knight and dragon from our retiring Knight's Quest Stamp Set. She added more elements to her scene from other retiring sets. She use the the castle from the retiring Once Upon a Princess Stamp Set, the tree from the retiring Fox Hollow Stamp Set, and the scroll from the retiring Message in a Bottle Stamp Set. She did some gorgeous coloring on all these images with copic markers and then used the coordinating retiring die sets to cut them out (Knight's Quest Die Set, Once Upon a Princess Die Set, Message in a Bottle Die Set and Fox Hollow Die Set). 

The beautiful landscape was created but cutting out grass, land and water with our Land Borders Die Set and Sea Borders Die Set. In the background she added an orange sunny sky using our Sunscape Stencil. She also added that lovely postage edge around the whole long image by cutting out several panels with our Framework Die Set and lining them up for a long border.
