I inked the raised parts of the compass die with cerulean blue then ran through my big shot (this took a few tries as I smudged the ink on the 1st two when I removed the die cut) But perserverance prevailed & I finally got a nice sharp image. I cut the tag shape then stamped & embossed the sentiment in Cerulean then dragged the ink pad around the edge of my tag for just a bit more definition. To finish the tag I adhered the rest of my die cuts and added a gold ribbon. To keep with the nautical theme I die cut the upper strip as a gold wave. This will go to my brother who is in the Navy.

Awesome card for your brother in the Navy! Love the nautical theme. The sentiment is terrific for him. Love the wave at the top. Excellent compass and die-cuts for the theme. Great take on the sketch! TFS
