I had to get off the Christmas card path for today's card to make a Thinking Of You/Get Well type of card for a friend in the hospital. I CASEd the card from The Crafty Oink Pen blog.
I recently ordered the Let's Set Sail Bundle & decided I wanted to use this for the card as the person recieving it is a retired Navy pilot but the boat in this set was the closest I could get for him, LOL! I started the card with a Basic White Cardstock base followed by a layer of Pacific Point Cardstock & Basic White Cardstock. For the stamped image, I used the Layering Circles to cut out a circle then stamped with the long water stamp with Balmy Blue Ink (stamped off once) repeatedly for the sky then used Pacific Point Ink for the water (stamped off once) the boat shadow was stamped also with Pacific Point Ink directly. For the boat, I used Sahara Sand Cardstock & Ink to make the sails & Soft Suede Ink for the boat then used the Sailboat Builder Punch to punch everything out then used Multipurpose Glue to put the boat together, then stamped the birds using Crumb Cake Ink. Before attaching the circle to the card I used the Cloud Punch with Vellum Cardstock & attached them to the back of the circle, with part of the clouds hidden it allows you to adhere without it showing through. I used the retired Happy Thoughts Stamp Set for the sentiment with Pacific Point Ink.
