I stamped my boats with a woodgrain stamp from All Night Media.
She didn't include a sail - so I just drew one from a picture of the Mayflower I found when I Googled it. Of course the real one had many sails - but you get the idea!!
I distressed and sponged the edges of the sail and curved it a little to give the feeling of the wind filling it - I attached the top and bottom edges to the mast with super tacky tape.
I stamped the names using my Just Rite 2 5/16 round wooden stamper and the Brayton 50 point font letters. You can see this stuff at www.justritestampers.com
I will be sailing the ships to my sister's for Thanksgiving to use as place names on her dinner table. I've filled them with sugar spiced nuts. Peanutbee has a wonderful recipe on her blog - http://thepaperlandscaper.blogspot.c...e-holiday.html

Cute? Are you kidding? Cute, yes, but well beyond that. Those are awesome! The woodgrain bg stamp was such a nice touch. I can see them with some of those pilgrim peppermint patties in them. You did a super job on your Mayflowers, TFS.
