Come Sail Away

 

Sharing a card I made awhile back for my husbands birthday.  The sailboat is

an old set from Sizzizz, Simply Defined: Be Inspired, Moments. Patterned

papers are from Hackney & Co.: Sea & Shore. Colored with Copics.

Clouds stenciled with a Close to my Heart stencil. Brown/rust  strip 

embossed with  StampinUp Subtle Dynamic Texture embossing folder

 and Sizziz oval die cuts.

 

Hope you are enjoying your weekend and finding some crafty time!

Things with wings

   Challenge time at Allsorts. Lynne has picked Things With Wings and as always

Anything Goes is accepted.  

 

I went with several Taylored Expression stamps and dies for the main focus of my

scene featuring sea gulls and filled in with a few other supplies. A day at the

beach sounds delightful and I could just picture it while making my card. 

 

I  have reconnected with my cousin in Rhode Island, she 

likes going to the beach and recently got 20" of snow  so I thought

she would enjoy a beach scene. 

 

Supplies:

 Taylored Expressions:  Striped Background,  A Day In Paradise stamp set and

Build a Scene-Underwater dies

Cloud dies by Amuse

A Colorful Life Cloud Stencil  

 Positively Pawsome Cross stitch Flat Bottom Circle

St. Patrick's Day tags

 Time to start on those St. Patrick's day makes! When  all you have left

in your St.Patrick's Day paper pad is snippets you can make tags!

 

    

 

 I cut strips of 1/2 inch from the snippets, traced the tag die on snippets of white

card stock and layered the strips diagonally before die cutting.   I then got

playing with gold embossing powder, I added it to the shamrocks, tag edges,

and my dry embossed bottom tag.  A bit of twine and I called it good.

I thought these turned out nice.
