You Float My Boat - CTD #348

CTD348_2015jun24


Hello and welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge! Joan is our host this week and she’s got a summery combo for us today, based on a sweet quilt for inspiration.

Summer seems to bring out the nautical themed supplies and I’m right there with it! I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then added a Blue Breeze layer cut with Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics as a base for my scene. I added a sun, cut with Blueprints 21 Die-namics from Lemon Chiffon card stock, clouds, cut with Cloud Cover-Up from Sweet Tooth card stock, waves cut with Making Waves Die-namics from Steel Blue card stock with Sweet Tooth card stock for white caps ;-) I tied around some white cotton yarn, tied in a sailor’s knot and stamped the sentiment at the bottom from PI Sailor Girl with Black Licorice dye ink. I finished off by added my sweet Sailboat Die-namics with a Kraft card stock mast, Red Hot card stock hull, and Blueberry card stock stars on the little flag.

Another sentiment from PI Sailor Girl was stamped on the inside.

  1. Love this fun nautical creation! I used your sailor's knot tutorial for mine as well. I don't make them often enough to remember how to position the twine, so thank goodness for people like you - lol!
