The stamp set I used is called Travel Ways by Stampers Anonymous and has a lot of cool collage-y images. I stamped a number of images onto onto the card base and also onto white tissue paper. I then scrunched up the tissue paper before adhering it to a Very Vanilla panel. The ship was stamped in Midnight Muse ink and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I used the new In Color that immediately appealed to me - Lost Lagoon - love that color!
I googled a Sailor's Knot and tied it using Hemp Twine.
Thanks for looking.
