Todays card uses the July Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp. The Sailing set included in the kit has fabulous, easy to colour, iconic images. I stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black on White card and Copic coloured before trimming out and layering on a vellum panel. The sentiment is stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder before stitching to a panel of the Authentique patterned paper.

Stamping the sentiment on the vellum allows it to shine. If I’d stamped directly on the patterned paper the sentiment would’ve got a bit lost in the pattern. This way you get hints of the paper behind but can still easily read the words :D

I accented with wood veneer stars, a few Sparkling Clear sequins and a banner cut from the same paper – I liked this tone on tone look. Finally everything is mounted on a White top folding card base.
