Happy Saturday!
Hope your weekend's going well.
We have had a gorgeously sunny day that sure felt like Spring.
Our twin great-nieces have their first birthdays coming up so, as I don't get much practice with children's cards, I pulled out a precious Craft Consortium 3D Decoupage kit illustrated by my favorite Helz Cuppleditch, called Sandy Paws. Since they have a slightly-older brother, I thought the trio of furry sailors would be appropriate.
Supplies Used:
White card stock card base
KI Memories green card stock mat
Wausau Rocket Red paper mat
Pink Paislee Birthday Bash designer papers
Kraft card and white card stock scraps
Craft Consortium Sandy Paws 3D Decoupage kit
Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves ink
Sheena Douglass and Avery Elle sentiment stamps
Kaisercraft Ship's Wheel / Helm stamp
Lawn Fawn Label die
Avery Elle Signature Seal die
W Plus 9 Heart Balloon dies
Stamplorations Clustered Hearts die
Corner rounder
I used this Splitcoaststampers sketch for my 6x6 layout design.
I lucked out and had some patterned paper that sort of mimics the patchwork sail, at least in colors. Plus it's a wavy pattern. The wheel stamp I have is actually only half the wheel but since it's a clear stamp I was able to create the entire wheel pretty well. While I'm still not able to pop up each decoupage layer because of mailing constraints, I did pop up the sentiments and heart balloon with 1/16" adhesive foam. One of these days, I'll do the decoupage very dimensionally, but I still enjoy just glueing the layers down on top of each other, lol.
Here's a close up of the 3D decoupage image. Helz Cuppleditch is the illustrator, so of course it's adorable!
Hope this doesn't hurt too many eyes, but I took this shot to try to show the layers of the 3D decoupage, mostly on the main sailboat.
On back, I used the green and red mats as on the front, and then I took some of the top strips from the Pink Paislee paper pad (what's left after you tear each perforated sheet off), halved each strip and created a 4x4 diagonal weaved pattern for the center of the card back. Inside, I used the Fallen Leaves VF Clair ink to stamp the Hero Arts sentiment.
And last look.
Thanks for the visit and enjoy your day!

That card is adorable. My dogs love to ride in the boat, and unless their sitting on the back seats, their heads pop up over the side like you have your pups and kitten. I hope the twin's (parents) love this card, but how could they not? I hope you're having a nice weekend. It's a little chilly today but next week we should have some lovely weather. hugs-Erika

A spot on card with all the colour and adorable images, perfect for the twins Aimes. We had the most glorious day today, with ample blue skies and occasional fluffy white clouds. But, very cold with a brisk Northerly wind. I can put up with the cold in the sun, it certainly lifted my spirits. x
This is such a happy card with so many bold colours - cute :)
What a delightful card, Aimeslee - so bright and cheery and I love how you pulled all the elements together!
Take care,
Hugs
