You may recognize my 'sea at sunset' circle panel from last week's birthday card for my brother in law. I made a few of those panels at the time, knowing they would come in handy for future cards. I cut a circle, splattered it with white and spritzed it with Clear Shimmer Spray.
I stamped a sailboat and sentiment from the new Essentials by Ellen Just Squidding set with WOW! Embossing ink and embossed with white powder. I added shading to the hull and flag with a copic marker (being very careful not to colour on the white embossed outline).
To create my frame, I cut a panel of Oyster cardstock with a EBE Essential Squares die, and then ran it through my die cutting maching two more times with 2 Essential for Stitching Circles dies (they were too close in size to run them through at the same time).
I backed the Oyster panel with black cardstock to make my 'frame' more visible.

this card is a beauty, Ardyth! I love the central panel with the white ep and acrylic, and the dots make it so interesting!! Great colors too.

I love Essentials by Ellen - she has so many cute stamps. You did an awesome job with your background and all those stunning colors - so stunning. Love your Essential Circles die.
