Ocean Front meets an oldie Sailing Home

  Welcome to my blog

and  thank you for joining me today!

Happy Birthday Dave

Still find cards for men cause me stress, I wanted a watery theme then remembered about the small sailing boat from an old stamp set and I was on my way. There's some stamping off and spritzing going on for the sky and water. When complete I was happy with the result.

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: balmy blue, night of navy, shimmery white

Dies: deckled rectangles (6,7), *smooth sailing

Ink: balmy blue, basic gray, pear pizzazz, sahara sand, *seaside spray

Stamp Sets: oceanfront, paradise palms, *sailing home

Accessories: milky dots, *playing with patterns ribbon, spritzers, water painters

 * = no longer available, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest

1. card base is 14.8 x 21 scored at 10.5
2. die cut 2 rectangles 
3. stamp the background for the boat  (for the sky and water, stamp off once, then spritz with water before stamping) for the sand stamp off but don't spritz. For the birds, sentiment, sand texture and fauna stamp full strength.
4. stamp the boat on a piece of shimmery white in night of navy,  add colour to the sails using a fine water painter.
5. die cut the boat.
6. adhere a strip of the ribbon across the bottom of the base card (l used tear & tape) then position the dots
7. adhere the rectangles to the card base using wet glue.
8. adhere the boat using dimensionals.

Hope you liked today's card. If you would like more information on how to make it, please don't hesitate to contact me, I'd love to hear from you.
