The Challenge 40-You're a Lifesaver

*** Scroll down to the post below or click HERE to see my card for this week's Mojo Monday sketch! *** 

The Challenge is back again with a new challenge!  This week we've got a theme challenge for you. Our nautical theme is perfect for summer card designs!

I combined the challenge's nautical theme with the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches to make this whimsical thank you card.  The big eared bunny image is from The Cat's Pajamas. I colored him up with Copic markers, then carefully cut him out.  He's tucked in between the dotted aqua sky background and a wavy stitched border die cut that's serving as water.  To fill out the scene, I added a pair of stitched clouds and a cheery yellow scalloped circle sun.  The "you're a lifesaver" sentiment was stamped just beneath the clouds.  I edged the scene with red cardstock, then adhered it to a white card base.
