The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home Stamp Set.  I know I could have used dies to cut the lighthouse and sailboats but I fussy cut them.  I also used Stampin’ Up! A Good Man and On The Horizon. I love, love this DSP.  It makes for such easy, simple cards.

I am entering this challenge again, as I have another fun fold card for today.

Also, the Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge.  The color of the flowers on the mantle and the nautical picture on the wall or that is what it looks like to me, are my inspiration.

The card base is Basic White card stock cut at 5-1/2″ x 10″.  I do not know if there is a bridge fold that size but I want a larger one than the ones I have made before.  This one is the bridge fold without the bridge.  Score at 1/1/2″ and 3″ on both ends of the card stock. I find it easier to score that way.

Cut eight mats 1-3/8″ x 5-1/4″ from Blackberry Bliss card stock. Cut two pieces 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″. This is the mat for the middle piece on front and back of the card.

Cut four pieces of the New Horizon DSP 1-1/4″ x 5-1/8″ from the design I have on the card front and four pieces from the panel of DSP I used on the back of the card.  Cut one piece 3-3/8″ x 5-1/8″ for the middle panel.  Stamp a greeting from the On The Horizon stamp set in Night of Navy ink.

Stamp birds in Night of Navy ink on all the panels, I used the stamps from Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home and Stampin’ Up! On The Horizon stamp sets.  Cut a piece of Basic White card stock 3-3/8″ x 5-1/8″ for the sentiment panel on the card back.  Stamp a sentiment in Night of Navy ink using a stamp from On the Horizon stamp Set.  Adhere all the Blackberry Bliss panels and the DSP together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then adhere to the card base.

Stamp an image from Stampin’ Up! A Good Man stamp set, stamp the lighthouse from the Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home stamp set in Night of Navy ink, stamp one of the sailboats in Blackberry Bliss, the other in Night of Navy ink.  Using watercolor pencils and a Blender Pen color the man and sailboats.  Using a Blending Brush and Night of Navy ink color the lighthouse.  Fussy cut all images once colored and pop on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensonials and Mini Glue Dots.  To get the color I wanted for the man’s shirt, I used several different colors of watercolor pencils to achieve this color.

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of New Horizon DSP applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
