Living close to Lake Michigan has given me a new enjoyment for sailboats and lighthouses. The ocean has always spoken to me but Lake Michigan is just as beautiful, it's just not as warm. I think the warmest the water gets is about 75 degrees. That is way too cold for me!
Pumpkin Pie, Night of Navy, and Balmy Blue is the perfect color combination for this stamp set. I stamped the anchor on the Basic White cardstock and then sponged some ink over the Pumpkin Pie and Balmy Blue anchors. The birds were stamped with Night of Navy on the Balmy Blue cardstock with the lighthouse on dimensionals.
This card is fairly simple. The base is Balmy Blue with another layer of Balmy Blue that was embossed with Bark embossing folder. The bark embossing folder reminds me waves which is why I used it. The strip on the left is the Be Dazzling specialty paper that was a free item during the last sale-a-bration. I did color it with a spritzer of Night of Navy re-inker and alcohol. You can watch the replay of the Facebook live HERE if you would like to see how this was made.
Masculine cards can be a challenge for many. This stamp set and dies help make those masculine cards so easy! I stamped the Pool Party with Birch background stamp. This looks like water to me too! I added a strip of Pattern Party designer series paper, wrapped with some white baker's twine. A die cut circle and sailboat and a greeting completes this fantastic masculine card.
Creating with Sailing Home is so easy and fun. I hope you all have this set in your arsenal! It's a pretty fantastic set.
