Kanban Stamp # 5 (Nautical Theme)

Glassine Paper
String
Small Metal Butterflies
Promarker pens Greys and Blues
Black Memento Ink Pad

Image stamped and coloured with Promarker pens some highlights added with glue pen and glitter
Teal card cut to slightly smaller than A5 using labels # 23 die
Mocha Kandi core cut with smaller labels # 23 die
Mocha Kandi Core cut with Decorative Window
The Mocha Kandi Core die cuts I sanded back to reveal core (fabulous card from Kanban Crafts)
Stamped image trimmed and layered between base teal card and Kandi Core window
Hitch fasteners attached to card and string threaded around card (I left two little openings for string in spine of card when I was cutting it but could be done after the die cutting quite easily
Metal Foliage added to string and made into bow
Other elements added for interest are some small foliage cut from glassine paper and shells.
Little peel off anchor for back of card
Peel off sailing ship for envelope
I adore this wonderful card Vee
