Sailing Home CASE

My card today is a CASE from the very talented Narelle Farrugia. I’ve admired her work for ages and love her work and style.  It has a unique flair that is just beautiful. You can see her card here. 

Base card is whisper white. Firstly stamp the lighthouse from sailing home in basic gray. Using a sponge dauber, ink up with versamark and then pool party around the top of the lighthouse. Then again use versamark and now ink up with seaside spray and sponge around the bottom half of the lighthouse. The versamark gives a softer look and blends easily. 

Now using water painter with just water blend the lighthouse using only the already stamped image. 

Stamp the happy from the family party stamp set on a thin strip of whisper white and trim. Cut Birthday from night of navy from well written dies. 

From the smooth sailing dies cut the ships wheel from night of navy, stamp the anchor in basic gray. Layer both on front of card. Stamp the seagulls using night of navy. 

My second card is very similar, but instead of using sailing home stamp set I have used the High Tide.

Geared up garage meets family party

One of my nephews had a significant birthday so I decided to make him a card using Geared Up Garage.  The first three cards have the same elements, using different colours and the 3rd, different orientation.



My first card below is on a base of crumb cake with a layer of  Golden Honey Specialty DSP.  The sentiment is from Family Party stamp set stamped on crumb cake using memento ink using the stamparatus and then reinking with versamark then applying clear embossing powder and heat set.  The car is stamped on basic black and embossed in gold.



My second card has a base of whisper white, dsp layer is Country Club dsp.  Sentiment is on garden green, also stamped in memento black and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  The car is stamped on night of navy and clear embossed.



My third card uses a base of smoky slate and has a layer of Classic Garage dsp (retired).  The layer is crumb cake and the car is stamped on basic black with silver embossing powder.

The last card is has a slightly different style, base of crushed curry with a layer of Classic Garage dsp and sentiment stamped on crushed curry and clear heat embossed.  Car is also stamped on basic black with silver embossing powder.
