OTWC #52

Wow, it's been a week since I've posted!  So incredibly busy this time of year in our house.....baseball, baseball, and more baseball!  And now that my daughter is playing T-ball, we're even busier!  Back to the post today........another Off The Wall Craftiness color inspiration. 

NAUTICAL COLORS

I had so much fun with this week's colors using the newest Wilson Designs stamp set:  Nauti-Cool.

This is my favorite WD stamp set to date!  But you wait.....there is more Wilson Designs goodness to come starting next week!  Be on the lookout for the release starting on Monday with a sneak peek! 

Pretty simple but I LOVE how this turned out!  Some paper piecing with the sail using Bitty Box DP from PTI.  I wanted the "boxes" to be a bit darker and less noticable so I colored over the paper with my Copic marker.  It really made a huge difference.  Using my colorless blender, I added some polka dots to the boat!
 
This week's sponsor is...........you guessed it!  Wilson Designs
So go make a project and link it up for a chance to win some Wilson Designs stamps!

Wilson Designs: Release Day!

Today is the day for the release of Kim Wilson's newest stamp set in the Wilson Designs lineup!  So without further waiting............here is the newest set:   Nauti-Cool

Let's get started on my samples today using Nauti-Cool!  My first card is my favorite card of the release! 

I made a sailor's knot to go along with this set!  I've been wanting to make one of these for a LONG time and finally had the perfect set to use it on!  I found the tutorial over a year ago and had it bookmarked for future use.....you can find it HERE.  It was super easy and I also used the tip of making a small notch in my panel on the sides to wrap my twine into.  Otherwise, this would be very bulky (and it already is).  Next, you get another look at one of the background stamps....the chain.  Again, very easy to line up.  Edit:  My card loosely uses the sketch from the JUGS blog for this week!

My second card uses some of the other nautical themed stamps in a CAS way via the sketch from Clean and Simple Stamping.  I added a little detail and stamped a sentiment!  Love this!

Alright, so what do you think?  I hope you like this set as much as I do!  Now go check out the other DT blogs for more inspiration and don't forget to check out our Guest Designer, Maile Belles, too!  This set will be up for purchase for $12.99 over at Wilson Designs.
