I Shore Do Miss You

Our new challenge at Time Out Challenge #286 is Pick Two: Stencil, Floral Spots, Arch, Water, Pastel. I chose stencil and water using this perky sea gull and a lifesaver ring. I've been waiting for the perfect challenge to use these dies and here is my card.

Products I used:

Sugar Pea Designs - Nautical Notions die set

Waffle Flower - Inquisitive Seagulls die set

Hero Arts - Seas the Day Seagulls stamp set

Altenew - Obsidian black ink pad

Park Lane - Travel Printed Cardstock with gold foil

Handmade waves stencil

Ranger - Distress ink pads

Concord and 9th - Mini ink pad

First I die cut everything I needed for my card, then stenciled the waves and ink blended the lifesaver and beak pieces. I made a second beak and bent it upward, then adhered it to the inlaid beak to look like he is squawking (or maybe smiling). I saw that done somewhere when the Seagulls were first released last year.

I cut a 5" x 5" white card base and a panel of patterned paper the same size. I arranged and glued together all of the die cuts and just had to stamp and cut down the sentiment to the size I wanted. Now to make an envelope to fit the card.
