Sailing Away

There's only 4 more days to order from the Summer Mini catalog.  That means that The Open Sea stamp set will be sailing into retirement.  What a great set for masculine cards!  So before we say bon voyage, here's one more clipper ship.

You may have guessed that this is a Less is More card.  Today's challenge is a

RECIPE

Take 3 Challenges

We want you to choose 3 from any of our previous 29 and combine them in your design.

I chose Week 7-Masculine card, Week 12 Off Centre,  and Week 18 Monochrome

I threw in Week 22 Shades of Blue and Week 29 Things that Move

Did you notice that the sails are full?

Maybe you can see it better here.  I stamped the ship twice and cut out the sails from one.   Then I cut dimensionals itty bitty and popped the sails up.  The SCS Free 4 All challenge yesterday was to do a stacked card .

Stack a paper shape to make something. A flower, a bug... use your imagination.

I'm not sure if the sails qualify for this, but I'll enter it and hope for the best.

Today I had my first Stamp and Share in my new studio.  I invited two of my neighbors and I think they had a good time.  They made some beautiful cards!  It's always fun and inspiring to stamp with others!  It was a Hurricane Party of sorts although we didn't get much of a blow here.  We were blessed.  East of us there is a lot of damage with trees down, power outages and flooding.  Let's pray for those who suffered damage and also those still in the path of this powerful storm. 

I'm so glad you stopped by today.  Wish you could have come to stamp with us.

Enjoy!
