Bedtime Bon Voyage

Here's my card for the Bedtime Story sketch from the Waltzingmouse Stamps Pajama Party.  I rotated the sketch around to create this nautical design.

I started off by using a bunch of distress inks and a sticky note mask to make a background on a white cardstock oval. Once I was happy with the look of the water and the sky, I used black ink to stamp one of the ships from the Ocean Bound set on the inked panel.  The "bon voyage" sentiment is stamped above the ship in the same black ink.

The image panel is matted on an orange oval, then layered over an orange dotted panel with a stripe embossed turquoise strip across it.  The turquoise is broken up a bit with a piece of orange grosgrain ribbon.  For the trio of elements clustered along the edge of the image panel, I used a pair of die cut white felt clouds along with a button sun, tied with a bit of orange seam binding.
