Sailing....

Welcome to my two new followers, Marina whose blog is 'My Perfect Life' and Kath of Handmade by Kath. 

 I was lucky enough to have a few new dies for Christmas, including the Memory Box 'Marina Sailboats'.

The yachts come in two different sizes in the set and this is the largest one.  There are also two different wave dies. I made up the scene, then die cut using a Memory Box Stitched Hexagon die.  I used a Sheena Douglass 'Water Ripple' embossing folder for the background, which I mounted on a red card blank.  The computer generated sentiment was die cut using a Memory Box Stitched Rectangle die.  Two punched anchors finished off my card.  Lot of snippets were used on this card, so I'll be off to share my card in the Playground.

    Really fun card Liz! I thought I'd got away with yearning for the dies - then I spotted the background embossing folder - sigh! It's just so perfect for the scene you created.

    Great card Liz, I love the nautical theme. The ripple water background is fabulous and matches perfectly with your die cuts. I like the red, white and blue colour scheme too. Well done!
    Cheers,

    What a lovely card, the watery embossing folder is the perfect background to that sweet little boat. I love how you've got so much going on and yet the overall effect is very CAS

    This sailboat looks just grand atop the hexagon mat. Love that swirly background too. Like the way you've inked the blue waves in it, and it looks so pretty with the 'waves' border. Red, white & blue make a winning color combo too! TFS & Happy wkend.
