If Hugs Were Seas...

This week's TCP Challenge was a fun color one that I couldn't miss!

I pulled out my very spiffy sailor from The Cat's Pajamas, Aye Aye Captain and set about for a rowing tour :)

I made some extensive use of the TCP Moustache die throughout the card.   It made for waves, a border, and a template for the clouds in the sky.  I'll show you how it all went...

You can see I "one-layer colored-up" my bunny, knowing that I would pop up another fully colored-layer on top, and then I used the largest moustache die as a template (see left of image), and sponged Pool Party Ink over top of him to create the sky and clouds.  Then I cut several of the smaller moustache dies in half, sponged up some and used them as the waves under his boat. 

Here's a closer picture of the clouds.  Before I sponged the clouds I did some soft swirly sky coloring with BG70.    

And below is a better picture of the popped up dimension and coloring. 

As you can see I have double layers of "moustachioed" waves with the sponged ones in the background (to receed) and the un-sponged lighter ones in the foreground (to advance).  

And finally, I tucked the moustaches behind the horizontal dp layer to create a border too.  Too cute hey?  Makes this die pretty versatile!  DP is from Echo Park - Sweet Day.  A little nautical "flag" with a buoy and button and it's sailing time!
