Happy Friday, peeps! Happy to see the weekend arrive! Yesterday was John's birthday, so we'll be going out with friends and family tonight to celebrate. One of the first things he said yesterday was "I wish I was going sailing today!" He hasn't had a sailboat for several years, so I did the next best thing for him, even though it was made a few days earlier, LOL!
I used the sketch from Sunday Stamps:
as well as papers from Come Sail Away and the sailboat from Sailing Home. Because some of the paper had a linen print on it, I over-stamped the sailboat with the Linen background stamp, then colored it with a marker:
I also used a scribbly stamp from Label Me Bold for the background circular diecut, then added some Brushed Metallic embellishments. The largest mat also was embossed with Stitched With Whimsy. On the inside, I added a sentiment from Label Me Bold as well as Throughout the Year:
A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?" He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" They were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!" Mark 4:37-41

I can see why he loved it! Happy birthday, John. LeAnne the way you stamped and colored the boat, as well as using the linen background, was perfect!
ReplyDeleteIf a man can't go sailing on his birthday, this is the best of all possible alternatives, LeAnne! It's fantastic the time and love you always put into his cards!
ReplyDeleteAdding that linen detail to the sailboat image just brought it all together seamlessly!
Happy birthday, John!
