Knowing You Are There Nautical Card with Memory Box

Hello welcome, I'm up on the Memory Box blog today with this nautical card using lots of products from Memory Box.  Some are from the brand new 2021 Summer Dreams release and others from the 2021 Spring release.  Here's another look at my card:

The sentiment and anchor I used are from the "You Anchor Me" stamp set.  The sentiment is stamped in Versafine Clair Pinecone ink and heat embossed in clear and the anchor in Hero Arts Navy Ink, then die cut with the coordinating die.  Here's a closer look at the Ocean Porthole die with tone paper to represent water and sand.  I also put metal brads on the circles in the die and twine on the anchor.

For the sand and water papers along with the kraft woodgrain background, I used my scissors edge to rough up the edges for a tattered look.  The background wood planks were die cut with the Wood Grain Planks die and cut from ivory woodgrain paper, then inked with Distress ink as seen below:

Then I glued them to some white card stock and cut the excess white off.

I matted that on a piece of white woodgrain paper then on kraft woodgrain paper.

The torn paper for the water is from the Fresh Aqua paper pack.  The porthole die was also cut from kraft woodgrain paper then adhered to a white one and inked several times with the Distress Ink.

Below you can see to make the sand layer, I used the back of the woodgrain paper and inked it lightly then added some light tan dots with an alcohol marker.

I stamped the sentiment and adhered it inside the porthole just at the top so I could slip in the water and sand papers.  Once they were situated, I cut off the extra.  The anchor was attached in one spot with glue, then with glue dots I adhered the twine on the porthole and the back of the circle.  The porthole was then popped up on fun foam circle for dimension.  

Lastly I added one of the "Graceful Ocean Birds" after coloring his beak, legs and added an eye with a black marker.  Here's closer look at the bird:

And here's one last look at my card with all the Memory Box products:

I love making nautical cards and they are so easy to do when you have such amazing ocean dies and stamps from Memory Box.  Be sure to check out all the new releases for 2021 HERE.
