CCMC289 Hello Sailor

It's Thursday and time for a new sketch challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!  This is a FUN sketch and you'll see the challenge team has LOTS of variety this week!  So, here is the sketch:

 

And here is my take on it:

 

I decided to go with a "masculine" theme for my card.  Hello Sailor is one of the sets that I received at Leadership.  I was glad I hadn't purchased it earlier.  I did have the High Tide Designer Paper…I always get ALL the designer paper!  lol!  After working with this set, I really do like it a lot more than I thought I would!  Here's what I did

1. The base is 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 of Summer Starfruit, folded in half to make a square card.
2. I stamped the little anchor around the background randomly with Summer Starfruit ink.
3. I added a 1" strip of High tide Designer Paper diagonally across the background.
4. I cut a 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 piece of Whisper White and stamped the best mate greeting with Pacific Point Ink in the lower right corner.  I stamped it again with Summer Starfruit on scrap Whisper White, then cut out the You're My pennant piece and adhered it over the Pacific Point one.  It was a little tricky because I had to cut out around the "B" in Best Mates.
5. I added a couple rhinestones on top and bottom in the scrolls.
6. That was layered on a 3 x 3 piece of Pacific Point cardstock.
7. In the upper left corner, I added two pennnats from the High Tide Designer Paper, one was 3/4" wide an the top one is 1/2" wide.
8. Finally, I stamped the anchor again with Pacific Point ink on scrap Whisper White and punched it with the 3/4" Circle Punch and added it to the front with a Stampin' Dimensional.  I also added a Rhinestone at the top.

I think it turned out cute and perfect for this sketch!
