I used the darling little sailboat, along with the wave, sun and sweet little sentiment "Life is but a dream". The image was all paper pieced, and I diecut two sizes of circles making sure the dry embossing was deeply etched. I then embossed it all with silver and added some Silver Viva Decor gel dots to make it look like a porthole.
Next up on the hop is Amber.
