Waving Hello

I'm hanging on to summer with this card for the current challenge at Sunday Stamps!  I used the sketch along with stamps from Paper Smooches to create a nautical themed hello card.  The focal image is the boat from the Wicked Nauticool set.  I colored the boat with Copic markers and cut it out with the matching Nauticool Icons die.  For the background, I used a pair of circle punches to give a blue cardstock panel a wave-like pattern at the top.  I wrapped the panel with red twill, then adhered it to a light blue card base.  I fashioned a sun from a piece of yellow dotted patterned paper cut with a pinking circle die.  The circle was tucked underneath the top edge of the wavy panel, then the boat was added on top, using foam tape for dimension. I stamped the set's "waving hello" sentiment in black ink on the blue panel to complete the design.
