Welcome to the May Sweet Stampede Blog Hop! This month is both a sketch and a color challenge!
This month I am introducing one of the new Online Exclusive Bundles called Sunrise Sailing! A fun, new all occasion bundle that is great for masculine cards. Our theme this month also included some of the new In Colors. Timid Tiger, Darling Duck and Secret Sea. I also added some of the new Cloud Cover.
For my background I used the Timid Tiger and Darling Duck cardstock on some the clear Window Sheets to do the Floating Cardstock Technique. If you look really close you can make it out. It was a little hard for me to photograph. I placed my strips across a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of window sheet and then cut it out with one of the rectangle dies from the Textured Notes Dies (currently one of my favorites)! I then popped it up on the Basic White cardstock with Stampin' Dimensionals.
The sailboat image is cut out with the coordinating dies from the Sunrise Sailing Bundle and the sentiment is stamped in Secret Sea ink. It was a really quick and simple card to put together. I hope you will give it a try!
