We've been pretty much in and out for the past couple of weeks so I've been sneaking a couple of minutes of crafting time here and there. I did this card in response to Less is More's Colour Challenge #449 - "Shades of Blue" before leaving for a day-trip to the Oregon coast.
This little 1-3/4" x 1-1/4" nighttime sailing ship is from Hero Arts CM357, as is the compass rose (I've used it previously for a sun by cutting off the stars). I heat embossed navy embossing powder directly onto the face of a folded card and colored it with about 4 blue Copic markers and touched it up with a bit of white gel pen. I then cut out a rectangular mat of white cardstock and layered over that and glued a 3rd layer over that of a slightly smaller panel that I had pre-stamped with the compass rose in Memento "Summer Sky" and the sentiment (Simple Stories "Great Escape") in PTI's "Enchanted Evening". I finished it off with some denim blue scrap paper to line the envelope.
This close-up shows the plate marks from my rectangular dies.

This scene is perfect use of the shades of blue Fran. Love your positioning of the outline stamp and the sentiment. I always appreciate your details like the 'denim' envelope liner here. Vicky x
