I started by creating my background patterns. The stripes are stamped with the new Stripes Background Stamp in Steel Blue Ink on Smooth White Card Stock. The anchor pattern is stamped with a stamp from the Go Overboard Stamp Set in Sno Cone Ink on Sno Cone Card Stock.
I stamped the compass from the Go Overboard Stamp Set and added the ring around it with one of the dies in the Let's Get Nautical Die-namics. The ring is embossed with embossing enamel. The sentiment is from the stamp set and I added twine from my stash.
