This card is going to a young pirate that I know.  I hope he likes it!

The waves and Ahoy text on the striped paper were stamped with Adirondack Stream ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I really like that this ink stays wet enough to emboss with. 

The saffron piece was painted with Ranger crackle paint in the Scattered Straw color – a perfect match!  Actually, the saffron strip, the textured red square and the teal circle were all pieces from my scrap pile, so this card was practically thrown together!  I just colored one of the boat images with my Copic markers, cut it out into pieces, and mounted those on the other image using tiny pieces of foam tape.  The first boat with the waves underneath had already been colored with Copics and cut out and embossed with a Nestabilties rectangle die.

I used clear imitation “Dew Drops” from Michael’s and painted the bottom of them with my BG15 Copic marker so they match the main image.  They were attached using glue dots.   The main image is attached with mounting tape to make it pop up a little higher.  I sponged the edges of the striped paper with Ranger Distress ink in Scattered Straw and my ink blending tool.

Thanks for visiting with me today!
