Out on the ocean

I'm a bit hooked on cards with lots of white at the moment. So I decided to go with a fairly clean and simple card with just a touch a light blue waves and die cut clouds, being inspired by  the photo over at Ink.  Then I needed to come up with a layout, which the Mojo Monday sketch made really easy for me.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT63rGHwsY8B55udwQMHueb4BgzZoDp-UI02UtOH2udYD9PougKIWYnDi_Bsx4YaTijBZLYlg_2vRb3Iv0Yg5FR9ue4LUsIR8PDa7QhdO2-a7uFnG_rPWImx1-rNtv8PWKmYmzVTSaixiX/s400/Mojo409.gifI used my embossing folder with ropes, which I think also gives an illusion of waves. I made the die cut waves using the negative cuts from a scalloped border die.The frame and sentiment are made with dies from Dienamics and I used a metal charm and string from my stash.

This card is for these challenges:
Inkspirational - Photo
Mojo Monday - Sketch #409
Ooh La La Creations - Nautical
CAS on Sunday - #64 Travel

Also wanted to show you the lovely gift I received from Kim of Cupcakes, Cards and Kim - thank you so much! I love the little pouch and the goodies inside it!

    What a fabulous effect you've achieved here - Soooooo completely nautical! But not predictable - that rope embossing folder was a great find, and I really like the pale shades you've chosen.
    Thank you for joining us at Inkspirational Challenges. Come back next time! Marina

    Just fabulous Pia!!! Your idea to make the waves with the scallop negative diecuts and the rope embossing is just genial!! They are both stunning and really very beautiful!! You have realized a great effect!!
    Your boat stamp has been so valorized by the frames and the waves, and your card has an amazing 3D look! Love it so so much!! I have pinned it.
    Congrats for your winning, enjoy your prizes!
