This card was completely inspired by the paper. It is from Making Memories Travel 8×8 pad. I just love those stylized waves! They remind me of Japanese woodblock prints.
The stamp is one of the many I bought from Local King Rubber Stamps, when they were in town for a craft fair. I think this is a pretty good guy card – it might go to my dad for his birthday. I kept it fairly simple, because I wanted the waves to show as much as possible. I coloured the sailboat with Copics, and distressed the edges using Gingerbread Memento Ink and a paintbrush. That image is matted on some dark blue Core’dinations cardstock. The compass is from the same set – I stamped it in black on Kraft cardstock, and used my gold Brilliance ink pad and a fine brush for the gold detail. Sticky back pearls are from my craft basket.
