QKR Stampede DT Card ~ Anything Goes; Option - By the Seaside

This is my Design Team card for challenge #252 at QKR Stampede - anything goes, with the option by the seaside.  I think I stretched that a bit, as this is more "on the sea". Both the image "ship" and the sentiment are available from the QKR Stampede store.  This challenge is open through Thursday, July 20 at 6 p.m. EDT.  Two winners will receive QKR images.  See details here.
For the background I did what for me is unthinkable - I cut into the middle of a sheet of cs!  You probably cannot even see it here, but there is a subtle map - the US, Mexico and Central America are just to the left of the image.  I wanted some of the ocean visible - but it is not clear at all.  Oh, well.  I used ribbon at the top and washi tape along the bottom.  The sentiment is raised with pop dots.
