A Nautical Card with Catherine Pooler's Unsinkable Collection

It's a long weekend here in BC where I live and I am going to take full advantage of it and get out on the water in my kayak. There's something about paddling along on a beautiful day that is so good for the soul. 

Catherine's latest release is called Unsinkable and has a nautical inspired theme throughout. If you're a fan of the ocean you will definitely be a fan of this release. You can of course purchase any of the products individually but Catherine has made it easier for you and created bundles that come with a little discount.

The Anchors Away Bundle includes:



The Under The Sea Bundle includes:




And for those of us that can't make up our minds there's the





Now let's get to the card I have for you today that features the Hook Line and Sinker Stamp Set. It's full of some great sentiments that will work well with any and all of the products in this release. It was a must have for me :)



I made a clean and simple card that was so easy and lots of fun to make. I used It's a Boy, Aquatini, Mardi Gras and Juniper Mist inks to create some water. I smooshed the ink pads onto my craft mat, spritzed it with water and then went about pouncing some water color paper into the ink puddles I made. I heat set the paper and then pounced again building up the colors - I repeated this process until I was happy with what I had. 
I cut a strip of the paper and then die cut a circle from the center.  There's something about the circle that fits with the nautical theme. I stamped the sentiment and the waves with Midnight ink. I added it to a white panel, leaving a gap and then decided to die cut it with the stitched rectangle die from the Postage Stamp Dies set. I added both pieces to the card base popping up the center piece with craft foam. 
And that's it. I'm thinking now that some sequins would look good on this. Hmmm I may go back and add a few.



Whatever you do this weekend I hope you enjoy it!

Happy Stampin'
