Sometimes the week just goes way too fast! I was up until around 2:30am last night which resulted in me getting up at 9:30, way too late! LOL! I have a little project that I’m researching and hopefully everything will go well and I’ll be able to share what I’m up to soon. I got to speak to Michael for a while today, always good to catch up! I did get to go over to my parent’s to see Daniel and Erika for a bit before I had to go and pick up Bill and take him back over to Deer Park to pick up Anthony’s van. They fixed it and all is working perfectly again. I went back over to my parent’s house for dinner, got to see my brother for a bit too. When I got back to my house I crafted for a little while and then binge watched Fixer Upper on HGTV, love what they do with houses! I’m off to spend the day with my friend Sue today, we’ll get some Etsy stuff done and hopefully craft a bit too!
The little card that I have to share with you today is for this week’s Paper Players challenge…
My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I took some paper from the Authentique Seaside 6×6 Collection and adhered it to a piece of Solar White 80lb. That is then adhered to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner. I cut the top of a piece of Basic Gray with the Simon Says Stamp Border Waves Dies and then heat embossed my sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Sail Away Photopolymer Stamp Set in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder. It’s adhered to the card with Foam Tape and E-Z Runner. The anchor and sailboat are from the same set. The sailboat is stamped in Hero Arts Pool to Navy Ombre Ink and the Anchor in Soft Granite to Black Ombre Ink. I used the Coordinating Dies to cut them out and the are both adhered to the card with Foam Tape. I guess I’m dreaming of a little beach getaway! Love that Ombre Ink, especially the Pool to Navy! I hope that you like my card for this week’s Paper Players sketch challenge! Thank you so much for visiting today! Have an awesome Thursday! 🙂

Good Morning Justin.
Really love this card and the paper combinations you used. Glad you had such a great day yesterday.
I’m having problems with Word Press. For some reason it’s not automatically bringing the blogs I subscribe to into my mailbox every day. If I try to resubscribe to a blog it tells me that I have requested not to receive any blogs. That is nonsense. So, I’m trying to figure out what to do since Word Press management page sucks, excuse the language please. Hope you have a Terrific Thursday. Mine obviously hasn’t started well.
Hi Grace!
Thanks! I try to always have a good day!
Oh no! I have never seen the WordPress management page! LOL! I’ll have to take a look and see if I can figure out what’s going on! We can’t have that! We’ll make sure that you have a better day! XOXO 🙂
Good Morning J. Love love love the card. It all came together perfectly. And the card is very appropriate considering what we discussed yesterday. LOL
Thank you very much Michael! Yes, the card is appropriate! 🙂
Great masculine card today. I love the ombre sail boat and the embossed sentiment. Have a great day. Can’t wait to hear what you have up your sleeve to reveal to us.
Thanks HJ! I do love a nautical theme! I can’t wait to share what I’m doing! Hope that you had a wonderful day! 🙂
Love this. the Ombre inks work so well in with almost any stamp set. Can’t wait to hear your secret!
Thanks Linda! I do love that Ombre Ink! I’m looking forward to sharing my news with you! 🙂
I’m not a fan of sailing cards that I’ve seen but this one is wonderful. The sailboat stamp inked in the ombre works perfectly. I just happen to have that Authentique 6×6 pad, too! and btw, I love that Fixer Upper show as well; just discovered it and have to learn when it’s on!
thanks for sharing; have a great day.
Thank you so much Debbie! I love a nautical card! The Ombre Ink is so great and I love that I still have some paper left from that pad! Yes, Fixer Upper is a fun show and I always love what she does! She has a great design aesthetic! 🙂
Fantastic card! So clean, super colour combination and a really uplifting sentiment.
Thank you Jan! I hope that you are having a great weekend! 🙂
What a a great card Justin! I love your choice of patterned panels and your waves for the horizontal piece with the cute boat bobbing behind. Thanks for joining us over at The Paper Players this week!
Thank you Joanne! That Waves Die is neat! I hope that you are having a fun weekend! 🙂
WOW, that ombre sailboat is amazing! I am in awe….perfection for sure! The whole card is wonderfully put-together, makes me almost want to go out on DH’s sailboat soon….almost! Thanks for playing with my sketch this week, Justin, it looks great!
Thanks very much LeAnne! Your sketch was great! I can’t believe that’s it’s cold again! Ugh! Go away winter! Hope that you are enjoying your weekend! 🙂
Justin, I just love the ombre sailboat! The waves your created are perfect! Such a great sentiment and mix of patterns, too! So glad you joined us at The Paper Players this week! XX
Thank you Claire! I do love that little Sailboat, especially in the Ombre Ink! Hope that you are having a nice weekend! 🙂
OMGosh Justin – Fixer Upper is my favourite show! I would never leave the house again if I had HGTV! Great card for today, I love the waves and the shaded look on the sail boat! It’s finally Friday, we’re off to the big city tomorrow for a corporate event at an AFL game (Aussie Rules Football), I’m not a huge footy fan, but there’ll be fancy food, so that’s always a bonus! Happy weekend to you 😉 xox
LOL! We have some of the shows on Netflix here! I rarely watch “live” TV anymore! Glad that you like the card! I hope that you had a great weekend and enjoyed all of the food! XOXO 🙂
What a great layout on this card!
Thanks Carol! Hope you are enjoying your weekend! 🙂
