Moon Lake Paper Player's Challenge

Hello!  Hope you are having a wonderful day! The last few days have been pretty crazy.  I found out a few days ago that we going to have house guests for about a week.  The problem was that my guest room = my craft room.  Rut Roh!  So.... I've been spending the last 3 days trying to organize/clean my guest/craft room.  It's looking great!  Now I need to spend some time catching up on my cardmaking.  I wanted to make a card for this week's The Paper Player's Challenge.  Since our guests were arriving tonight, I ran home to get everything I needed for this card out of their room and moved to the kitchen table.


I loved this sketch...actually I love sketches in general.  I love to have a starting place and just make it your own.  Fun stuff! :)


I started with a A2 Crumb Cake card base.  I added a layer of Chocolate Chip cardstock that has been dry embossed in a woodgrain embossing folder.  I stamped the boat image onto a 2 1/2" square of watercolor paper with Brown Stazon Ink.  I used my Aqua Painters to color my image.  The inks I used for the watercoloring were Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Chocolate Chip, and Baked Brown Sugar.  I backed the watercolored image in 2 3/4" square of Wild Wasabi.  I ran some natural ribbon across the Chocolate Chip layer and then ran two strands of Linen thread around it.  I added the layered Image to the right side over the ribbon/thread with dimensionals.  I added three little Basic Gold Buttons on the right that had been threaded with the linen thread.  I adhered them to ribbon with Crystal Effects.   I stamped the "Thinking of you" sentiment onto some Very Vanilla cardstock and layered it onto Wild Wasabi cardstock.  I used my Hexagon Punch to punch banner ends on the sentiment layers.  

Here's the Stampin' Up! products I used on my card:
