Let’s Set Sail

This week is a color challenge at Create with Connie & Mary. Let’s Set Sail and sail through this challenge!

Our colors are Daffodil Delight (for my sunrise), Tahitian Tide (for my ocean), and Starry Sky (for my sky). I blended these colors onto a panel of Basic White with Blending Brushes to create a scene for my sailboat.

Materials & Measurements:

• Thick Basic White card base, 11″x 4-1/4″, scored and folded at 5-1/2″
• Starry Sky Cardstock layer, 5-1/4″x 4″
• Basic White Cardstock for art panel, 5-1/8″x 3-7/8″
• Basic White Cardstock scrap for sailboat

Directions:

• Mask off an area about 1-1/4″ above the bottom using low-tack masking tape.
• Using a Blending Brush, brush Tahitian Tide ink onto the lower section of the paper.
• Remove the masking tape and reposition it to cover the Tahitian Tide portion.
• Blend Daffodil Delight ink from the masking tape up about an inch, fading the color as you brush up.
• Starting at the top of the paper, blend Starry Sky ink down to the yellow, using a heavier hand at the top and fading it down to blend into the yellow.
• Remove the masking tape and stamp the water texture with Tahitian Tide and the stamp from Oceanfront.
• Stamp the sentiment from Let’s Set Sail and Starry Sky ink toward the top right corner.
• Stamp the sailboat with Starry Sky ink onto Basic White Cardstock and punch it out with the Sailboat Builder Punch.
• Glue the boat/mast/flag piece toward the left side of the card. Stamp the birds to the right and left of the boat, also with Starry Sky ink.
• Place Dimensionals behind the sails and position them to the right and left of the mast.

Now head over to Create with Connie & Mary to see what the rest of the design team has made with these colors! Have a great day ~ Hope it’s your BEST. DAY. EVER. !
