Hello again and Happy Monday! Happy Memorial Day to all of you celebrating in the US.
I have a card to share today using the gorgeous set "Guiding Light" from Whimsy Stamps' Raindrop Echo collection.
This set was just released and I think it is totally gorgeoeous. Especially great for those hard to make masculine cards.
All of the "sea elements" you see here, including the sentiment, are part of the set. I was going to leave the image uncolored, but then decided to dig out my SU chalk pastels and add a little bit of soft coloring.
The anchor and steering wheel were cut out by hand and added with dimensionals. The designer paper is from a 6x6 pack by My Minds Eye (from hobby lobby).
I embellished with soem twine, a little flower and button, and did some sewing around the edges.
Here is another view
If you haven't seen the new Whimsy Stamps yet, be sure to check them out. Gorgeous nautical images and sentiments have been released, including an achor and wheel die, nautical postage sentiments, sailboat set, and more.
Here is an image of the set I used today.
