I've been rooting through my stamps and came across these wonderful sentiments by LOTV which I've had for quite a number of years.
It was high time for them to be put to good use. Have a look ...

That's it from me for today.
I used a small circle gel printing plate, three shades of blue finger ink and a small punched circle to print the background onto which I stamped the small sailing boats.
Sentiment and ems were added to finish off.
I am entering my card at:
Word Power October 2026 Challenge - Sentiment has to take centre stage
Over to my next card ...
This card uses the first print hence it's a bit more grainy, an effect which I rather like. This time round the sentiment was stamped first which helped with the placement of the small sailing boats which was the only bit of the stamp I inked up.
That's it from me for today.
