Yup you read the title right .. Yesterday I got to stamp a few things with my brand new goodies I got this past Friday from our last club night ( I was the hostess this past month YIPPEE!! ) Of course I fell in love with the Boatloads of love when it was introduced this year in the new catalog .. Not to sure why I put off getting for so long Cause I sure do love it and Of course this card will be going to my hubby this week .. I used Ballet Blue card stock ( Which I NEVER hardly use ..) along with Black and I also used my watercolored paper .. I also used my SU! markers to color in my images and I also did the masking technique for the 2 hearts in the little boat .. AAAWWWWWW don’t you think its the cutest ? I just love the little puff’s of smoke or clouds or whatever you want to call them .. sooo stinkin cute .. I also added dazzling diamonds to the tiny windows , puff clouds and also a touch to the water waves too . for a added small touch I put brads on each of the corners and while I was adding those I thought I would add some silver cord around the brads and tie in the whole Boat / Nautical theme ( Not to sure if thats the final look that I was "trying" to go for But I do like how it turned out in the end .. Oh yes the tiny doodle dots were added with my SU! black marker ( You know me and those dots .. BUT hey I didn’t use the white gel pen Thats amazing right ?)
I can’t believe it we broke a record for hitting 90 degree’s yesterday here in Michigan .. WOWZIE!! A great Boat day in Oct ? who would have thought … The weather is about to change really fast and get alot cooler by tomorrow, Guess that means time for sweatshirts (I love Fall temps ).
Have a wonderful Tuesday girls and I will see you all again tomorrow.
Until later … Happy Stampin!!
This is one of my favorite sets Dawn, and I love the card you made with it! The colors are perfect!!! Love it! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
Good Morning Dawn!
Your card is awesome! Your husband will love it! I’m like you, I loved that set as soon as I saw it in the catty but then took me a couple of months to order it…LOL
I heard you had FAB temps this past weekend! My Mom was complaining she had to have the AC on. LOL…we have the furnace on here! haha
Have a great day!
Hugs
Dawn
Awesome card..I love the choice of colors.
This set is in the new catty? I must have missed it. You did an awesome job!
So, I take it we’ll need our thermal pj’s for the party on Friday night? You won’t have to worry about the ice cream melting since it’s predicted to go down to the 30’s!
