Waving Hello

This week’s Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge is a Designer Draft challenge. I used the sketch to create this nautical design.

I die cut the boat from the Wicked Nauticool set with the matching die from the Nauticool die set and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers. I made a background for the boat with a piece of subtly patterned blue paper and a strip of darker blue cardstock with a wave border along the top. The boat is attached to the scene with dimensional dots. I finished the scene with a few die cut clouds around the boat.

The “waving hello” sentiment is stamped in red ink on a white panel. I set it on top of a piece of light blue faux suede ribbon folded to create a banner-like appearance. The scene is set on a kraft card base stamped with the dotted border from the Primary set in matching kraft colored ink.
