Enjoy The Adventure

Hi there, blog friends! Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS  ~ Ceal is our Hostess, and she is challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Beach’.

This cute little sailboat is from Simply Graphic, which is a company in France with reasonable prices and shipping fees...gotta love that! I started by stenciling the waves and clouds, then stacked the navy saiboat x3 to add dimension. I used a NBUS stitched circle die to frame the scene and Navy ink for the sentiment. Lastly, I used clear embossing powder for the fish to create a tone-on-tone effect. 

We would love to see how the code word ‘Beach’ inspires you! If you would like to see inspiration from the Design Team, and play along with us, come on over and check out the ATCAS Blog  ~

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Supplies:

Stamps: MFT - Mermazing; PTI - Ahoy (sentiment)

Dies: Simply Graphic - Sailboat; Penny Black - Stitched Circles

Stencils: MFT - Watercolor Wash, Mini Cloud Edges

Misc: Ranger Superfine Detail Clear Embossing Ink; Tim Holtz - Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks

Hi there ~

I haven't played along with CASology in quite a while, and since my mojo has taken flight, I thought it would be fun to kickstart my creativity with their latest prompt ~ Vacation! 

I wouldn't mind spending time on a sailboat like this one, especially after the crazy year we've all had.

I started by stamping the waves in two shades of aqua, then die cut the (new to me) sailboat. I embossed the sentiment in gold to match the sails, but I think the flash on my camera is making it difficult to see. I also stamped the seagulls with navy ink to match the boat and card base...and that was it!

Since the sailboat is new, I am also entering this card in Darnell's NBUS Challenge #18.

I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy! Thanks so much for stopping by,
