This is for Carey's sketch. It's a fabulous layout for using multiple stamps in a set or a small part of a background stamp in the small squares. I embossed the background with a wavy EF for the calm seas. Colored and sponged the images and edges. To attach the banner, first I curved it up and down; and then I adhered it with Dimensionals in spots and directly to the cardstock in other spots in order to keep the curves like a banner blowing in a gentle breeze. Remember Hodgepodge Hardware? I used three brads from the Antique Brass set; one on each square. The bottom one is holding on the anchor charm. After weeks of making Valentine's, it was fun to go a completely different direction. Terrific sketch. Hope you get a chance to use it. TFL

What a marvellous card Diane! I love the metallic details and your great colouring in blues and browns! Fantastic alternate use for that embossing folder. Thanks for the tips on the curved sentiment banner! It looks terrific and I never think to support it with dimentionals when I try this. :-)

This SU set is certainly a blast from the past (it must be almost as old as me - lol) great use of the sketch and I really like all the brass accents you've put on each side square.
