I was inspired to create this very colourful card by a few challenges.
I don’t often use block colours, no ink blending, no ink smooshing – just die cutting……and this card took quite a bit of working out – not as easy as it may look…..
The boat die set is from Heffy Doodle, and is called ‘Boats & Barns’ and – as the name suggest – you can a boat in varying forms, or barns……
I used Heffy Doodle card stock, some Concord & 9th card stock, and die the colourful layers. I wanted a bright and cheerful boat to go on a very blue water.
Once I had decided on the layout of the boat – where to out the funnel, how I wanted the portholes to look etc – I then used MFT stitched waves dies to create the – erm – waves.
Then I had to decide which wave I wanted the boat to be behind – so many decisions with this card…..which wave to use in which color, at what level to have it, is the boat going to be straight or wonky……? Goodness……..
This card was fun to create without getting messy for once – though I do like to get messy…!
I shall be entering the following challenges:

Lynda, that’s such a darling die cut boat and you put the card together perfectly! For not using simple die cuts much, you did an incredible job. I love it. :-D Thanks so much for joining us at FarmQuest in our “Boats” theme. Hope to see you again in the next challenge.

This is charming!!! Whenever I cross the Illinois River in my region, I often see tug boats pushing barges filled with grain, coal, etc. so that’s a great interpretation for the FarmQuest boats challenge! Thanks for participating! –Becca
