A Wish for Everything meets Sailing Home

Hello and welcome to my haven in a hectic world, thanks for dropping by.

• Using the  night of navy happy & birthday sentiments (cs)  stamp the happy & birthday from the a wish for everything (ss) using versamark and whisper white craft ink and then heat emboss using white (ep). Now trim these two sentiments down to have very narrow borders.

• Using stampin' blends colour in the boat in light cherry cobbler, light crumb cake and light balmy blue.

• Attach the helm using dimension pads.
• Adhere the right side of nested stitched label to the 3rd panel of the insert making sure the points of the label are on the folded crease using liquid glue.

• Now adhere the label at each side across the front of card using liquid glue.
• On the front of the card adhere 3 (r) white perfect accents down the left side.
• Position the happy & birthday sentiments so they are hidden behind the boat when the card is closed and attach using dimensional pads.

Will be back again soon with more cards. Enjoy the rest of your day!

Artisan Texture and more!

Hello and welcome to my haven in a hectic world.

Happy Birthday Thomas from Grandad J!

This is my second card for today.
When I went to post Tom's card while out on my daily walk last Tuesday (postie is slower to deliver just now due to Corona, they can't work faster than they already do) I realised that there wasn't a card from his Grandad (88 & housebound just now), so I rushed home with an idea in my head, but once I started, something totally different came out, hope you like it!

• Using the whisper white 1st layer (cs) stamp the images from the artisan textures (ss) using all of the (18/20) in colours.
