Basic White card – 4½” by 3” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner

I tore a piece of copy paper into a wavy line and used it to ink the ‘cloudy sky’ with Balmy Blue ink having masked the sun using a die cut circle cut with the Layering Circle dies. The birds, from the Mountain Air stamps set were stamped in Basic Gray ink across the sky. The stamped piece was then glued to the Orchid Oasis panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The Caravan, from the Tree Lot Dies was cut from scrap Pool Party card and the top and bottom of the caravan from scrap Silver Foil. They were glued together with liquid glue. I added a piece of Window Sheet behind the caravan windows and used scraps of 2022 – 2024 In Color dsp to make curtains. The tyre was coloured with the Basic Black Blends Pen.

The panel was then placed in the Stamparatus. I wanted to make sure that my sailing boat was nice and dark and the Stamparatus allowed me to stamp it 3 times with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Whilst the panel was in the Stamparatus I stamped the birds with the same ink. Both of these images came from the Sailing Home stamp set.
