Sailboat in a Bottle

A message in a bottle is something you might find one day on the beach. I recently saw a video (which could have been staged) of a bottle being opened on the beach that had a paper inside. As a child I was fascinated by the model ships that were inside a bottle, wondering how they were built...could the bottle have been blown around  the ship? Check out what I found today here! What an incredible art!

Our Just Us Girls Challenge #780 is a beautiful moodboard chosen by Vicki. I went with the sea and the colors under, in and around it in the photo. Be sure to check out all of the team's cards, as well as that of our guest Joanne, for all the details on their  wonderful cards. 

I made a shaped card but decided it popped more on a red card base. You can see in the photo that the bottle will still open on top of the red card base. The white wave you see divides what is seen above the water from the underwater scene. The tag gives the person who finds the bottle a little message.

Everything I used to make the card is Spellbinders except the sailboat which I  think is My Favorite Things from long ago. Oh, the sticky backed cork is from Canvas Home Basics and I have had it forever, using small pieces here and there.

Thanks so much for stopping by and we look forward to seeing you in our gallery!
