Sail Away Father's Day

Hello all! Here is a recent swap creation. And, it's a sneak peek of a stamp I'll be using this upcoming weekend-April 29-May 2 for a Stampin' Addicts Summer Mini Blog Hop! Make sure you stop back!! 20+ different blogs each featuring something NEW from the Summer Mini!!

The Card base is Early Espresso with a background layer of Baja Breeze. On that Baja Breeze, I stamped the Wonderfully Worn background stamp in Not Quite Navy, flipped it (top to bottom) and stamped it again without reinking. Then I textured it in the Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder. The tag, from the Two Tags die, was cut from Crumb Cake card stock. I sponged the edge with Early Espresso and stamped 'Happy Father's Day' at the bottom in Early Espresso. The boat was stamped in Early Espresso on Naturals White card stock. I used a blender pen and Crumb Cake Classic ink to add colors to the sail. I used my Not Quite Navy marker to accent the "waves". I added just a touch of Cherry Cobbler with my marker to the flag. The sky and upper edges were sponged with Baja Breeze, the water and bottom edge with Not Quite Navy. The boat is layered on a Not Quite Navy piece, then attached to the tag. At the top I knotted through two small pieces of the new Early Espresso/White Bakers Twine before attaching the tag to the background.

Thanks for stopping by! Make a note of the Blog Hop and come back by this weekend-you won't be sorry!!
