Waving Hello

Here's a clean, crisp design inspired by the current nautical theme challenge at Global Design Project.  I used the sailboat from the Paper Smooches Wicked Nauticool set as the focal point on the design.

The sailboat was colored with Copic markers and cut out with the matching die. I used foam tape to set it on an aqua panel over a darker aqua "wave" strip.  The waves were made by using a pair of small circle punches to punch partial circles of varying depths from the cardstock strip.  Super easy to do!  I tucked a shimmery white cloud beneath the boat, then stamped the set's "waving hello" sentiment next to it.  The panel was adhered to the top of a white card base with a red striped cardstock strip placed at the bottom.
