Sailing Home Birthday card

Belated Happy New Year!

I've just realised this is my first post of 2020!  I was ill just before Christmas, and I feel like I'm still playing catch up, my Christmas tree is still up as I wanted to enjoy it for a little longer.

Lot's has happened in Stampin' Up! world.  There is a new Mini catalogue that will take us through to June, and of course, the fabulous Saleabration period is upon us, where FREE product can be earned with qualifying orders.

Here are the link to my online store where the new goodies can be viewed HERE

not just yet though as I want to show you a card I made for my husband's birthday... a little while back, while I was making it I made a couple of others.  I find it easier to make a few cards when I have certain supplies out.

It was created using a combination of stamps and ink blending techniques.

I'm discovering masking images can be so effective in defining images.  It was easy to stamp the lighthouse on to a sticky note then cut it out.  TOP TIP cut just inside the outer line.

Here are the other 2 cards using the same supplies

This is the sped up version of the video

Here is the longer version with commentary
