Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing something new. I have made a retirement card using the gorgeous new Sunrise Sailing stamp set and dies which will be available from the 6th of May in my online store.
Colours used to make this card are:
To recreate the sailing race card, you will need:
Lemon Lolly card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 2¾”
Azure Afternoon card – 5⅞” by 1¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Lemon Lolly, Timid Tiger, Poppy Parade, Azure Afternoon & Pecan Pie
Using Azure Afternoon ink, I stamped the sentiment onto the Lemon Lolly card front.

I used the same ink to stamp the water image along the bottom of the 5⅞” by 2¾” piece of Basic White card. I used both first- and second-generation ink. I used a Blending Brush to add the same ink to the top of the panel after masking a small area for the sun. After removing the mask, I added colour to the sun using a little Crushed Curry ink with a Sponge Dauber.

From scrap Pecan Pie card, I die cut 4 of the medium sized boats using the Sunrise Sailing Dies. I then die cut the sails from scrap Lemon Lolly, Timid Tiger, Poppy Parade and Azure Afternoon card. I glued the sails to the boats and adhered them to the inked panel using a mixture of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, Mini Glue Dots and Mini Dimensionals.

I die cut a wavy edge from scrap Azure Afternoon card and added it along the bottom of the decorated layer before gluing the whole piece to the Lemon Lolly card front.
