I have been playing with my Oceanfront stamp set………I can’t help myself and this time I have combined it with the Sailing Home stamp set for an oceanfront sailing card.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the oceanfront sailing card, you will need:
Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅝” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 3⅝”
Night of Navy card – 5⅞” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic White and Pear Pizzazz
Using the largest stamp from the Oceanfront stamp set I stamped the sky with Balmy Blue ink into the longer, narrower panel of Basic White card. I added the sea in Misty Moonlight ink using the same stamp.

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.

I stamped the boulder in Crumb Cake ink onto scrap Basic White card and fussy cut them out using Scissors. The vegetation was die cut from scrap Pear Pizzazz card using a die from the Seas Dies. The boulders were glued down with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the vegetation tucked behind.

I added some clouds, die cut using the Rainbow Dies and glued them to the sky. The 2 strips of Night of Navy card were glued to either side of the stamped panel. The whole panel was then added to the Balmy Blue card front on Dimensionals.

The boat was coloured in using my Chalk Pen, to help it stand out. I also added ‘waves’ with the same pen and finished off by adding some Clear Wink of Stella to the water.
