Sunrise Sailing

Here I go again!

Those darn beach-themed stamp sets - I simply cannot resist!

So I purchased the new Sunrise Sailing bundle (stamps, dies and hybrid embossing folder) and had to play:

This bundle makes me think of the perfect day on the beach (or on the water!), blue skies, calm water and watching a sailboat floating in the distance.

What I love about this set is all the embossing. The Hybrid embossing folder can emboss a full card front with waves, clouds, birds and a sailboat!

BUT WAIT! There's more!

Not only will it emboss the paper, it can also cut out elements if you want. The sailboat die can fit INSIDE the folder and your sailboat will be cut AND embossed at the same time!

OR you can emboss your layer and then stamp over it with a stamp to define the boat (not the sail), or add birds (I stamped over the embossed birds).

I started with Blending Brushes to create the water. I used Azure Afternoon, Blueberry Bushel and the new Secret Sea, blending the colors. I also used a touch of Balmy Blue for sky. Then I ran it all through the embossing folder (without a die) to add the texture. LOVE!

Next I stamped the boat and colored it with Blends. I then put the die inside the embossing folder, lined up my boat and ran it through the Cut & Emboss machine, giving me a die-cut boat that is embossed. This was adhered right over the embossed boat on the blended layer using liquid glue.

And inside:
