Hi and welcome to my blog. Although this has been a busy week, I've managed to have two fun get togethers with my stamping besties, which really gave my creativity and fun threshold a boost!
Today Sheri joined me for a few hours of creativity and we both worked on this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #673.

| There are two wave dies in the Sunrise Sailing Die set. I cut a strip measuring 1" x 6" of Summer Splash cardstock and cut a strip to use on the inside of the card. |
Supplies and Instructions:
Stamps and Dies:
- Sunrise Sailing stamps and dies
- SU Stylish Shape Dies for sentiment layer #165491
- 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" Basic White for card base, scored at 4 1/4"
- 3 7/8" x 5" Basic White for inside matte
- 2/38" x 2 3/8" for square matte for card front
- Scraps Basic white for Sailboat and sentiment layer
- 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" in Summer Splash for matte on card front
- 5 1/4" x 4" Summer Splash for matte on inside of card
- 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" Summer Splash for square matte on card front
- 1" x 6" strip of Summer Splash for wave on inside of card.
- 2 1/2" x 5 1/4" piece of cloud design dsp from Beach Boardwalk DSP #166820 for top matte on card front.
- 2 1/2" x 5 1/4" piece of dsp that looked like waves from Beach Boardwalk DSP from bottom portion of the card front. Emboss this piece with the bottom portion of Sunrise Sailing Embossing Folder to give wave texture.
- Secret Sea for sailboat outline, seagulls, and sentiments
- Summer Splash for the sails on the boat
- Pecan Pie for the sailboat base
Accessories:
- Dimensionals
- Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder
The papers in the Beach Boardwalk DSP collection were perfect for creating both the sunrise effect as well as the waves. The soft pastel colour mix works so well when combining the sky and ocean papers.
I realized when I took the picture of my card that I hadn't handled the white space on the sails to make it look like the background. There are two ways to do this. The first would be to use either fine-tipped scissors or an exacto knife (my choice) to cut out the white space between the mast and the sail. The second way to deal with it would be to stamp the sailboat on a scrap of the coloured background paper and cut out the portion of the sail and glue this piece over top of the corresponding space on the original stamped sail. Either way works.
Thanks again for for dropping by and checking out the latest challenge card on my blog. Please let me know your thoughts on this card, I'd love to hear from you. HAPPY STAMPING!PENNY TOKENS STAMPIN' SPOT
