Memories of the Sea

Happy Friday and thanks for taking the time to visit the Great impressions Blog. Another weekend is upon us and this one is the official kick-off of summer. Whatever your plans are hope they are fun ones on this Memorial Day week-end.

Since its summer's entrance, I thought I would make a card that reflects something about summer that I love. It's the beach of course.

My card is using 3 Great Impressions Stamps on this one. The sailboat is the "sail away E418" stamp and the sentiment is "our memories F396".  I only stamped part of the sentiment on the card front and the remainder on the card inside.

I brayered and sponged the background and masked a circle for the setting sun. I used the same circle and turned it the other way to mimic a reflection in the water.

I used a white gel pen to make the whitecaps and added some twine that is tied in sailors knots.

I also completed the inside of my card on this one. I stamped the remaining part of the "our memories F396" sentiment and then added a birthday sentiment using "flourish birthday wishes" E742. I had some star fish and shell buttons in my stash so I used these for a little bling.

Well that's it for me for this Friday. Before I go I wanted to let you know that there is a sale going on in the online store. You can get 20% off your order plus free shipping on U.S. orders over $25. Check it out here. The stamps I used today are available in the store.

Until next time.......Inky hugs
