It’s a new month and a new theme for our Creatively Simple challenge!
SUNRISE SAILING
I thought doing a watercolor water and sky background would be pretty simple, don’t you? LOVE this Sunrise Sailing Bundle. My husband just recently announced his retirement in July, so made this card for him!
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Real Red cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was watercolored with Lost Lagoon refill ink for the bottom and Pool Party refill ink for the top using a Water Painter.
- The waves were stamped with Lost Lagoon Ink on the bottom portion.
- The sailboat from Sunrise Sailing outline was stamped with Memento Black ink on scrap Basic White cardstock and the hull and sail stripes with Real Red Ink. It was cut with the sailboat die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The “sun” was 1-1/2 circle punched from Daffodil Delight cardstock and added to the top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Happy Retirement from Sunrise Sailing was stamped with Memento Black on 1/2 x 3-1/2 Pool Party and added across the sun.
- The birds were stamped with Memento Black Ink.
- A trio of dark Shades of Green Hexagons were added to the background water.
LOVE it!!!! I know my husband will appreciate it, too! OK, check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
