Smooth Sailing

Good Sunday morning all!  I thought I would share my message in a bottle card today.  I was trying to make it look like it was bobbing up and down in the ocean, but I couldn't resist putting a small ship inside of it either.  LOL  It is just barely visible under the dew drops I used in the shaker.  I started by inking a light cloud background then cutting an aperture in a piece of coconut white card with the Message In A Bottle Die.  I filled my bottle treat cup with some dew drops (from my stash) and sealed it with acetate.  I added my small ship (it was actually from the Little Treasures die set) to the piece I removed from the aperture, then I glued it to the back of the treat cup behind the acetate.  I cut several of the waves from the Nautical Accessories die set out of differing shades of blue and glued them across the card.  I cut the sentiment from inside the Porthole but cut away the outer ring and glued it to the top of the card.  I added several seabirds to the sky from the Island Paradise die set.  The card was finished with white on white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x 8 1/2" in size.
