I made this card for today's Clean and Simple Sketch Challenge combined with the Technique Lover's Challenge - Patchwork. This also fits this month's FanClub Central Theme.. I don't think the sky is ever more blue, than on the ocean.
I used my new Hambo Sailboat Frame stamp combined with the Sizzlin' Summer sentiment. I stamped my imaged twice, colored with my aquapainter and popped up the sail on dimensionals. I added some rope around the image and matted it on early espresso cardstock. I dusted off my sewing machine and stiched some brown thread over the patchwork background.
Thanks for looking.
