Welcome to InKing Royalty’s May Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects are centered around Travel & Transportation, so prepare yourself for a fun journey. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the end of this post.

I love participating in blog hops with my fellow team members because they are all so talented and each month I am excited to see something new. This month’s theme is travel and transportation and my card today is a relaxing scene, traveling on a quite lake or if you think bigger an ocean.

I would love to spend the day and even a night or two on a quite boat, swimming by day and enjoying a glass of wine in the evening while watching the sun set. I do love the sound of the ocean, but since my dream includes swimming during the day, I think I will stick to a lake and leave the sharks for those more adventurous.

Supplies

• Night of Navy Cardstock- 5½ x 8½ ( card base)
• Real Red Cardstock- 4 x 5¼

Directions

• Score Night of Navy cardstock in landscape position at 4 ¼.  Fold & burnish to create card base.
• On the 3 ¾ x 5 white panel use Stampin’ sponges, daubers or blending brushes to create water scene.  I used Balmy Blue and Bumblebee for the sky and Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight for the water.
• Stamp the boat in Memento Black ink on white cardstock and use colored pencils or Stampin’ Blend markers to color the boat. Crop boat using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and  coordinating dies.  Attach the boat to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Stamp the greeting and the birds in Memento Black ink and attach the water scene to the Real Red cardstock panel.  Attach panel to the card front.
