Last weekend we were finally able to get out sailing. The summer has been so crazy that this was our first chance all year to get out there. Either the weather has been raining, or thee hasn’t been enough wind or we’ve been tied up with other things. It was so wonderful to be out on beautiful Lake Mendota in Madison. I was inspired to create this card after a day out on the lake.
Today’s Color Combo
Creating the “water” background was really easy. I used an Aqua Painter and picked up some Pacific Point ink and watercolored it on Shimmer White cardstock. On another piece of Shimmer White cardstock, I stamped the boats from Lilypad Lake stamp set in Pacific Point, then colored the boats with Real Red and Pacific Point Markers and used the watercolor technique for the water. I then punched the sail boats outwith the 2-1/4″ Circle Punch.
To Create the “life ring” I punched a 1-1/2″ circle from Real Red cardstock then I punched a second circle outside the first using the 2-1/4″ Circle Punch. I wrapped a 3″ piece of Whisper White Bakers Twine around the ring in 4 places to make it resemble a life ring. This was then centered over the boats and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
