Here’s another sneak peek at an A La Carte stamp in the upcoming Summer Mini. It’s called Sail Away and is a beautiful sailboat. Isn’t this perfect for scrapbooking and those hard to come up with masculine cards?
I stamped the sailboat twice – once on Crumb Cake and once on Whisper White. The Crumb Cake image is die cut with the 4″ Circle die (great because it’s clear and you can center your image.) On the Whisper White image I cut out the sail. The background is stamped with an image from another upcoming set, On the Sea. And the sentiment is upcoming too (it was a BIG box of goodies!) called Best Dad Ever. That’s a little piece of the new Baker’s Twine at the top sail. You’ll see lots more of it later on, I promise! Here’s a close up of the layered sail.
