You Anchor Me

This week's Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge is a designer draft challenge using the sketch seen above. I flipped the sketch to come up with this nautical themed card.

I stamped the sailboat from the Wicked Nauticool set on a matching panel die cut with the Nauticool dies, then colored the image with Copic markers.  To make water for the boat, I used the scallop die from the Borders 2 set to die cut striped navy patterned paper and a solid navy cardstock mat.  The die cut panels and sail boat were adhered to a kraft card base.  I stamped the set's "you anchor me" sentiment on the card base next to the boat in red pigment ink, then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.  The little cloud, cut with a die from the Spectrum Icons set, was a last minute addition just before I photographed this card.  It worked perfectly!
