At our June SUper Friends Gathering, in addition to our card swap (you can follow the link to see those, if you haven't already), we also made a couple of cards.
First, we made a mini notecard (3"x3") using the new Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and a wash of three colors in the background, with some stamped images from the Sailing Home Bundle. The greeting was stamped on a vellum die cut and the ship colored with Stampin' Blends. Here are a few variations I made:
The card base is one of the new In Colors, Pretty Peacock.
The second card we created used a background technique with the Stampin' Blends inspired by these gorgeous cards by Artisan Emma Goddard. Images from the May 2019 Hugs from Shelli Paper Pumpkin kit were stamped repeatedly on a piece of Whisper White Card Stock cut to layer on one of the Whisper White Note Cards. We then colored around the images with Stampin' Blends and I like adding a bit of So Saffron in the flower centers as well. The greetings are on Stitched Nested Labels Dies and are decorated with fussy cut flowers from the Free as a Bird Stamp Set (also available in a bundle with the Stitched Nested Labels dies here). Here are a few samples I made with this technique:
Hope you like these! Thanks so much for visiting my blog.

Hi Michelle!
Love these two techniques. Wish I could have joined the fun! Thinking of incorporating the first sailboat card (3x3) in a nautical sampler I'm dreaming up. Thanks for the sample!
Stampin' Hugs,
