I made this card using the direct to paper technique. I took my ink pad and rubbed it directly on Whisper White card stock. It took me a couple tries to get the look I was going for. I used Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade and Pool Party inks. Next, I stamped the Sail Away boat in Basic Black. It took the black ink a little bit longer to dry than usual. I think that's because of the extra layer of ink underneath. Because I didn't wait long enough before trimming my piece, I ended up with a little smudge down near the boat. So, I just hand drew in another little bird to cover it up. Problem solved! I stamped the boat a second time and cut out the sails. I popped these up on some dimensionals. My sentiment is from the hostess set Happiest Birthday Wishes. Thanks for stopping by!
