Summer Sailboats

A fun summer card that is perfect for a birthday or just because. This was one of the card designs that we made at August's Cards & Chocolate class. Most of the cards we made were beach inspired as I'm dreaming of sitting on a beach along the ocean! Join us on the second Wednesday of every month for Cards & Chocolate class (details are below for September's class).

To create this card the Basic Gray panel is embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder but I stamped the Thinking of You sentiment before embossing the cardstock. We stamped the sailboats and the sun using Momento ink then coloured them in with Stampin' Blends. Its best to colour behind the ships using a Light Pool Party Stampin' Blends as otherwise the ships seem to be floating in the air instead of the ocean!

Supplies
Stamps: Lilypad Lake
Colours: Calypso Coral, Basic Gray, Thick Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Bermuda Bay
Accessories: Stampin' Blends in various colours, Decorative Label Punch, Rhinestones, Stampin' Dimensionals, Subtle Embossing Folder, Bird Ballad designer series paper
