Today I’m sharing a project using a stamp set I haven’t inked up for a while.

Set Sail in the Direction of Your Dreams. Project designed by Karen at HIPPOFROG Designs Messaging with a friend reminded me of the Sailing Home Stamp Set, so I decided to dust it off and use it again.

I’ve chosen Pool Party, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla for my colour combination.

A background is stamped using the Artistically Inked Stamp Set. I think it gives the impression of water.

Next, the various shapes are stamped using the forgotten Sailing Home Stamp Set, and cut out using the coordinating Smooth Sailing Dies.

By using a Blender Pen, I’ve pulled colour from the lighthouse and anchor to give a bit more depth and definition.

Once the lighthouse and wheel were glued down, the birds were then stamped.

A length of Linen Thread is tied through the anchor and looped behind the sentiment.

I love this sentiment as it’s great reminder that we need to take care of ourselves.

The sentiment and anchor are then raised up using Dimensionals.

For this project, we’ve used the lighthouse Stamp and co-ordinating die, along with the birds and knot stamps.

My colour combination of Night of Navy and Sahara Sand is from the Baker’s Twine behind the sentiment. Very Vanilla completes the combination.

A Blender Pen has been used on the lighthouse to add some shading and the birds are stamped for more depth.

The sentiment from Wiggle Worm Stamp Set is punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. Behind the sentiment, the reef knot has been stamped off so as not to overwhelm the message.
