I made a suspended image card awhile back that i loved but that really took me awhile...i promised myself i would never do another..hehee!!! This time I used hemp instead of seed beeds for the suspension--was a bit easier!
The boat is from Inkadinkadoo. It is stamped and colored and matted on white. The hemp suspension runs between the white mat and blue and adheres again to the frame peice. I got this stamp from Jacksonbelle's online store. http://stores.ebay.com/Jacksonbelle-Embellishments
The sentiment is from Gina K's "Punchy Words" set--the free set this month when you buy three stamp sets! www.ginakdesigns.com
I used my easel card design for this--and as a final touch added tied peices of hemp around the tops.
Thanks for looking!

I don't know why, but sometimes songs just pop into my head when I see or hear certain things. Your beautifully colored sailboat and rough seas remind me of the song, Puff the Magic Dragon:
"Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Little jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh
"Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.
"Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow wheneer they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!
"Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.
There's your song tutorial for the day. So the next time you make a sailboat card, you could put Puff the Magic Dragon in it, too! Please forgive me, Cammie. I just got out of a rather long (and boring) meeting, which drive me crazy since I'd rather be stamping. I'm on a break and just came upon your card.
I LOVE your card. Now, I'm thinking I should just delete everything I just typed cause I sound kinda kookoo (kookoo for Cocoa Puffs----somebunny STOP me!) but it took me too much time to type this, so I'm hitting submit.
Did I tell you I love your beautiful sailboat card???
