Sail Away CAS

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!
