A couple of years ago a very dear friend, and talented stamper, sent me a card that I fell in love with. It was very simple, but very eyecatching. I have held onto that card (physically as well as in my minds eye) until I found a stamp that I could recreate the card with. Here is the card I cased ....
I was so excited when I first saw this stamp, called "Sail Away" in the new Stampin' Up! Summer Mini catalogue. I knew it would be perfect to recreate Mi Ran's card. This card takes about 5 minutes to make, and that includes cutting all the paper and doing the insides and a coordinating envelope! The lines I drew by hand with my black Stampin' Write Marker. The sentiment is from Starring You a set I aquired during Sale-A-Bration in 2010. It fits the bill perfectly. The card is very flat and very light, so it is easy and inexpensive to mail. I popped up the sentiment, but you don't have to and it would still look great.
Thank you Mi Ran for your inspiration. I absolutely love this card. It is so verstile, you could make it in any colour your want. I think it would be awesome in Not Quite Navy, or Pacific Point, or even Real Red!
Stamps: Sail Away, Starring You
Ink: Basic Black
Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White
Other: 1-3/4" Circle Punch, Circles #2 Die (1-1/2" circle), Black Stampin' Write marker.
Happy Stampin' and I hope wherever you are that you are safe and sound from the horrible storms and flooding happening all over the world!
