Sail Away

Sail Away

I really like this stamp! It's from the current SU mini.

I've seen some really beautiful cards made with it.

Here is my first attempt at using it.

Got the idea from SCS. I used a nestie to make the oval

mask, used vanilla craft ink and inked in the oval,

used my heat tool to set the ink. Then stamped the boat,

and sponged the baja ink on top of the vanilla ink.

Very easy technique, yet very pretty.

Have a great day everyone!
