Let Your Dreams Set Sail

 Happy Summer Friends!!

Today I am popping in with a card that I created for this weeks Freshly Made Sketch #691. I had the design in my head on what I wanted to do with this sketch but had to find everything first!! I went through my stash and I dug out products that I wanted to use. Most I have not used before.

I combined a boat die cut from "Carribean Dreams" by Altenew, the "Mighty Waves" Embossing Folder from Altenew and a sentiment from Spellbinders "Fair Winds" stamp set.

Below is the Sketch that inspired my card:

I did a bit of cutting of the embossed waves and added some white embossing ink and white gel pen on some of the edges.

The sail boat is placed at a slight tilt because you can't be on a wave a be sailing straight can you?

The sky was blended using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. This will be sent out as a Graduation card for one of my nephews. Yes, it is unconventional but I think it can fit. 

That is all from me today. I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Just a Reminder for this weeks Cupcake Inspirations Challenge

 Hello Friends!!! Happy July 4th!!!

Today I am popping in with a reminder for this weeks Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #547. The theme is "Oh My Stars."

Once again I did not use the traditional red, white and blue on my card. I went with a beach theme. I used the image from "Summer Circles" by Pretty Pink Posh, which I colored in using Copic Markers. 

The star fish border was stamped in pink using the Seas and Greetings stamps from Simon Says Stamps. The die cut starfish is from a Hero Arts die set and the sentiment is from a Concord and 9th stamp set.

Once again, I LOVE how this card came out!!! It is a simple design but was fun to create. 

I hope that you join us this week at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. It is always so fun to see what you create. 

I thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a FABULOUS 4th of July!!
