Happy Sunday to you! We are laying low today as this is the last day of Spring Break however, it's certainly not felt that way! We had snow one day where it was forecasted to be 50! Anyway, the kids have enjoyed themselves and I've had time to craft!
If you follow trends at all then you may know that all things 'NAUTICAL' are in. I've had this little idea in my head to do ever since Timeless Twine by Bella Creationz came out with their Natural Twine. Don't you just LOVE that tiny Sailor's Knot?? I DO.......a LOT! With the current release of Neat & Tangled's On the Strip 2 stamp set, this card came together soo easy! I actually stamped a larger striped panel and just trimmed down to size. My sentiment is selectively inked from the set: Just Hello.
Now for that sailor's knot........you all know Pinterest. The site where hours upon hours of your day can go unaccounted for? I used a tutorial found HERE however, I've made several of these years ago for a card so you can find sources pretty much anywhere on how to make these. For my knot, I just used 4 equal strands of Natural Twine and followed this diagram!

love. Love. LOVE it! absolutely PERFECT timing too, as a sailor buddy has a b'day later this month and I try to send sailing-themed cards! thanx for the inspiration!
This is seriously fabulous.
That knot is *amazing*!!! I'm still trying to wrap my head around how you did it with four strands though! The rest of the design is flawless, but that knot really just wins all for me - wow!!
Fantastic card Amy. I think we'll be seeing lots of Sailor's knots on cards now thanks to your inspiration.
What a fabulous card! Love the knot!
I kind of love this! Totally nautical, but so CAS and I LOVE the knot!
This is brilliant Amy! Love the CAS nautical design and the knot is PERFECT!
I love this and left you a comment on the N&T blog...

This is so clever. I love the knot--reminds me of my days doing macrame-- and I need some of that twine, now.

You are right on trend! I love the knot! That is way too fun! Super cute and you didn't even have to have any nautical stamps to pull this theme off!
