Ahoy Matey

Here’s my card for this week’s Waltzingmouse sketch challenge. It’s been a while since I used my Half Pint Heroes set, so I pulled it out for this cute card.

The image panel is inked with several different colors of distress inks to create a watery background. I stamped the submarine image and colored with Copic markers, then added a clear dome sticker to the largest porthole and some Glossy Accents to the smaller ones for a glass-like look. The image is set on the panel with foam tape.

I covered the cardfront with a piece of green dotted paper, edged with two coordinating green cardstock strips. After setting the image panel in place, I wrapped the cardfront with some blue baker’s twine, securing it with a bow at the top of the image panel. The set’s “ahoy matey” sentiment is stamped on a light green notch-ended strip and accented with a matching green button.
