Last Week's Card & Cuppa - Setting Sail

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was this great sailing project.

It used Daffodil Delight, Azure Afternoon and Misty Moonlight as the main colours.

First, the sentiment from the Tags of Thanks Stamp Set from the Online Exclusives range was stamped in the bottom corner.

Using ‘for you’ makes this a really good any occasion card, suitable for anyone.

Then, from the Choose Happy Stamp Set the sun was stamped with the boat onto a separate piece of cardstock.

These were both coloured with Stampin’ Blends. The sun with Daffodil Delight and the boat with Pecan Pie, Poppy Parade and Balmy Blue.

Fussy cutting was then needed to cut out the boat.

Next, a wave shape was cut out from a separate piece, and with a Blending Brush the sea was created.

To give the illusion of different depths, it was made in layers. The top wave first, then the bottom, then the middle wave. To finish the sea, the Blending Brush was then used to colour in any missed sections.

Finally, the boat was attached using Mini Dimensionals.

This is a really deceptive project, as it’s quick and easy to create. You could also change the design by using different colours for the boat and another sentiment.
