OWH Sketch #157


This week's sketch is great!  I had to study it for a bit to get the paper piecing right, but I love the layered look that this sketch produces.  All of my papers came from my stash. 
The stamps are from Stacy Stamps.  I stamped the sailboat twice; once on blue and once in white, then cut the white sails out and glued them on top of the boat.  I used my Copics to color in the hull of the boat and around the water.  I thought the background needed embossing, so I used the Swirls cuttlebug folder.
 
I just sent off 75 OWH cards and when I went through my box, I realized that I had no Birthday cards!  I'll have to get more of those made for the next box and this card will be the first one.
 
I'm looking forward to another online card class for the next two weeks - hope to see some OWH bloggers there!
Have a great day!

  3. Beautiful card! I just love the soft blue colors. Great idea for paper piecing on the sails, it really makes them stand out nicely. I also like the additional ribbon in the center of the card.

  5. Great job! The choice of embossing folders is fabulous... and echoes the waves of the ocean. The white sails are a great, attention-getting detail too. Love the way they make the image "pop".
