The Open Sea - Ship In A Bottle Card

The first card in my trilogy using The Open Sea stamp set.

I received this awesome card in a swap at the Stampin' Up! Convention in July 2014 from Pat Zweber.  My stampin' customers bugged me long and hard until I included it in a stampin' class.  In March I had an entire class based around this stamp set called The Open Sea (click on the image to go to my web store) ......

This is the first card from the class.  In the next 2 posts I will share the other 2 cards with you.  They are equally as amazing as this one is.  Thanks, Pat!

  Stamps:  The Open Sea, Gifts of Kindness
  Ink:  Baked Brown Sugar, Early Espresso, Pacific Point
  Paper:  Naturals Ivory, Pacific Point, Soft Sky
  Other:  Masks, Bottle Template, Clear Embossing Powder, Aqua Pen, Sponges, Early Espresso Baker's Twine, 1-1/4" Punch, Banner Punch (SAB), 1/8" Handheld Punch, Brights Candy Dots

I had to figure out how to get the bottle template.  I had customers searching their Cricut cartridges, online, and anywhere else I could think of. When that did not work, I just photo copied the card and cut out the bottle and the cork.  Worked like a charm.

Happy Stampin' and Creatin'  . . . . . . .
