you've got this

 hello lovely crafters!

I'm joining in today with the talented team at inkspirational where they have a mood board this challenge. I love the colours on the board, so I went with them and used a nautical theme. I also used circle shapes from the board which (in keeping with the nautical theme) reminded me of looking through portholes!

The sea was gently watercoloured and the sky ink blended. Some little clouds and a mountain were die cut and adhered. I die cut some circles out of another panel and laid the panel over the top of the inked piece with foam tape for dimension. The little sailboats were die cut from white then paper pieced over the top with card in the board colours, with one sailboat sail being made from tiny die cut strips of coloured card. Lastly they were adhered with foam squares. The sentiment was shaped and stamped in an arc to mimic the circle.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • dies: Gummiapan sailboat, MFT petite clouds, icebergs
  • stamps: Altenew sentiment strips
