LET'S GO SAILING

It's Monday and that means it is time for a new featured Product of the Week!

This week I will be using the Sunrise Sailing Bundle.  This is a new Online Exclusive Bundle that was released on May 6, 2025.

The pretty background to this card was made using the Aluminum Foil Painting Technique that I demonstrated on my Learning with Friends Video on May 1, 2025.

It is an extremely easy technique that uses minimal supplies.  All you need is a piece of aluminum foil, Stampin' Write Markers or Classic Ink Pads and some water.

To see just how quick and easy it is you can watch this video that demonstrates the technique.

The colors I used for the background were from top to bottom: Balmy Blue, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly and Blueberry Bushel.

A few birds in the background and the sailboard were stamped with Black Memento ink.  The two-step stamps from Sunrise Sailing added the Blueberry Bushel "paint" to the boat and Lemon Lolly highlights to the sails.

The sailboat was easily die cut with the die from the Sunrise Sailing Bundle.  I did not use the hybrid embossing folder for today's card but check back later in the week to see the gorgeous texture it gives.

The sentiment is also from the Sunrise Sailing Bundle.  I die cut it with a Stylish Shape die and then added a double knot of two strands of silver cord (retired).  Drusy Embellishments add some sparkle.

Since this technique was new to me, of course, I practiced before I made the video.  So, I ended up with a couple of the completed sheets.  I used one of those practice sheets for the inside of my card and for the envelope.  You can see that these look a little different than the one on the card front.  That is what I love about these sort of techniques.  Each result is always unique!

Use this link to download a tutorial for this card.  It describes how to do Aluminum Foil Painting and gives you all the dimensions and step-by-step directions.
