Color Throwdown

Hi, everyone! Check out these fun summery colors that Joan - our talented hostess with the mostess - has for us this week on the Color Throwdown challenge blog!  I decided to also carry out the nautical theme of the photo  and paper pieced the sails of the ship and colored the rest with Copics.  I added a bit of fine glitter to the

waves for some extra pizzazz!  I'm using the basic sketch for the current Retrosketches Challenge - tweaking it by adding the circle element.  If you're needing a refresher course like I did with the sailor knot steps, the YouTube tutorial link by Barbara Anders is HERE.  My finished card is 5 1/2" square.  I used my corner chomper  and added a die cut flag using Verve's Flag It Die Set and topped it off with a silver pearl.  An easy, clean layered card design!

STAMPS: Learning to Sail (Verve)
PAPER: Miss Caroline "Dilly Dally" by MME, Real Red, White.
