Well the long Victoria Day weekend is finally here. The first long weekend of the season...kick off to the summer...May two-four. There are many reasons to enjoy this weekend, but for me it will simply be a chance to get caught up on some gardening, some stamping and this infernal course I am taking. As three whole days stretch ahead of me, I am a little unsure where to start tackling my To-do list, so I figured I'd relax with a little stamp-therapy. Its been almost a week since I put ink to paper and I needed a while to get the mojo working. Thankfully, there is the summer mini and the great nautical paper and stamps to inspire me. Conveniently the challenge this week over at
The Paper Players is a colour one that uses the three colours in the Nautical Expedition DSP:
So, here is my nautical card...even though I don't have a sea-worthy bone in my body!
 |
| Card for PP46 using the Sail Away a la carte stamp, and The Open Sea set and Define Your Life sets. |
 |
| Trying to show the popped up, paper-pieced sails |
 |
| My attempt at a nautical-looking knot! |
 |
| Inside of card with sentiment from the Word Play set. |
I wasn't kidding when I said I wasn't sea-worthy. Boats make me sick...literally. All I have to do is look at a boat bobbing on the waves and I turn green. But I love this suite of new products! There is something about the DSP and stamp images that just appeals to me and inspires my creativity. This card is really straightforward...nothing tricky or special here! At the end of a long, busy week, I don't feel much like doing a play-by-play how-to on this one...I hope you don't mind! If you are stumped by anything, leave a comment and I'll try to help you out. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy my Friday evening...I hope you do too!
So, here is my nautical card...even though I don't have a sea-worthy bone in my body!
