Used the masking technique here both on the sails and the sun using sponge daubers to add just a hint of colour. I made my own card candy to match.

Occasional Greetings, Blossom Petal Punch, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder
I’ve used the Blossom Petal Punch to create the skirt for this image – a stamp set from my personal collection. I ran cardstock weight vellum through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and punched out a few small petals and adhered it with a two-way glue pen. I cut a tiny […]
Sail Away #1
