Sail Away!

Here is a fun card I made using the Sail Away set in the summer mini. If you like this set or anything else in the mini, you only have a few days left to order since it is only available until August 31st!

To make this card I used a beauty color combo of pool party, river rock, crumb cake and early espresso. The embossed background was created using the lattice embossing folder in the Big shot. I added to eyelets and some bakers twine to give it a bit of a Nautical look. The background behind the sailboat was created using an acrylic block as a stamp. To finish it off I used the Thinking of you Sentiment from the Sincere Salutations stamp set.

Bubble Background Technique

This was the other technique for July... I'm a little slow at posting these! This technique was called bubble background! I love how this card turned out with the sailboat. The boat is a single wood stamp from the summer mini called Sail Away. I used the bubble background technique as a background piece and layered the sailboat image over it. The boat was stamped on crumb cake cardstock and the sail was colored in with a white watercolor pencil. The sentiment is from the stamp set Herb Expressions.

Here's a close up-- you cant see the bubbles as well in the photo but they're really cool in person.
