Going Nautical with Oldies being Goldies

Hi Crafty Friends!

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 ...


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.
