Today I am sharing the cards we made at this weeks classes using the lovely Sailing Home stamp set and co-ordinating Smooth Sailing Dies. This is such a great set to work with, such great images.

We stamped and die cut the boat, coloured it in using the Stampin Blends Markers. The sentiment and small birds were then stamped on the Whisper White Circle and the boat added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

We stamped the compass and anchor randomly down the strip of Whisper White in Coastal Cabana and Early Espreeso inks. The thin strip of Early Espresso was added to the left side and the panel added to the card front with glue. The circle piece was then added on Dimensionals.

We stamped the lighthouse in Early Espresso ink onto the Whisper White rectangle and coloured it using the Crumb Cake light and Smoky Slate light Stampin Blends markers. The birds were then added and the stamped panel added to the Early Espresso Rectangle.

One of the birds from the Hugs from Shelli paper pumpkin kit was randomly stamped in Early Espresso down the Pool Party layer. The bodies of the birds were then painted using Frost White Shimmer paint to give a pearlescent look to the birds. The group of little birds then filled in any large gaps. This piece was then glued to the Card front.

We die cut the rope from the thin piece of Early Espresso card stock, cut it in half and added a piece at the top and the remainder at the bottom, butted up against the stamped piece.

The sentiment was stamped then punched out using the Everyday Label punch and backed onto a punched out piece of Coastal Cabana. The sentiment was then added to the back of the stitched rectangles and the whole piece added to the card front on Dimensionals.

We randomly stamped the smaller boat on both pieces of Pool Party cardstock and adhered then to the front panels of the card front.

The boat, sentiment and small birds were then stamped on the Whisper White cardstock. This was added to the Early Espresso rectangle and then glued to the left side of the card front.

We really enjoyed making these cards. I hope you like them.
