AHOY! – Nautical Greeting Card

Hi everybody! It’s Saturday and time for a project from the archive! Samantha used our AHOY stamp set on a lovely handmade post card.

Postcards are a wonderful size to work on being approximately 4 inches by 6 inches. So with all these thoughts of holidays and getting away to the seaside I made a postcard using two wonderful stamp sets, AHOY and the Mixed Sentiments 1 (this set is no longer available – an alternative would be Mix A Sentiment)

To begin I created the background with distress inks and various stencils and stamping the Mixed Sentiments stamp set.

I then stamped some of the images from the AHOY stamp set on white card and coloured using watercolours.

I added some washi tape and some inky splats to the postcard and white heat embossed the sentiment. I stamped the two boats directly on to the postcard to save some intricate scissor cutting and show the ropes off so well.

Thanks for stopping by, Sam
