Stampin' Up! have released their new mini catalogue, their first summer mini for the UK market, and to say its bursting with fun new "stuff" is somewhat an understatement.
The stamp set I just had to have and play with first is "The Open Sea" a fabulous stamp set with a male theme (if you want it to be, that is)
Here is my card, this uses the open sea stamp set and the amazing new label collection framelits dies.
Here is a close up of the beautiful ship from this stamp set, stamped simply in early espresso ink on whisper white card, this is the only card if you like stamping (in my opinion), it takes the ink to perfection. I cut the shape using the brand new framelit dies and made a frame using two of the framelit dies, I embossed the frame using the square lattice embossing folder.
As you can see from this close up I have used all the stamps from this set, the world and compass stamped with versamark and then embossed with clear embossing powder on my base card. The next layer is whisper white card, stamped using the writing stamp, spritzed with chocolate chip, crumb cake and early espresso inks. I layered this onto a piece of hessian for extra texture and finished with a stamped sentiment and embossed with gold embossing powder.
I am really pleased with how this card turned out, leave me a message to let me know what you think.
Until next time Happy Crafting Dawn x
