Joanne, hostess of the Stampin' B's Design Team-challenge #123, wants to see some clouds on our cards this week. I took the easy way out this time and just stamped a few clouds, cut them out, and popped them on.
I have been wanting to stamp on cork for some time and thought this was the day. I didn't realize how easy it would be to do that. I bought sheets of QuicKutz cork that had an adhesive back and it stamped beautifully. I then paper pieced the sailboat and punched my waves with a Fiskars punch called Boundary Waters.

STINKIN' CUTE, Benzi! Those waves are great, and the curlicue font of the sentiment matches perfectly!

sweety, i never ever would have thought about using cork on a card...
i love to use cork-drip-mats for candle lights with napkin-technique, but this is such a cool inspiration!

i am so in love with your wonderful creations!
hugs and kisses from germany,

"Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me" believe that song is by Styx. That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw your card. Funny that I saw where someone was singing Rod Stewart (my fav)! Anyway, your card is wonderful ... awesome details!
Brenda....this is absolutely delightful.....fresh as an ocean breeze.....bold in design...fun in theme...fantabulus clouds.....LOVE IT
Beautiful Sailboat.. Thanks for joining us at Creative Inspirations for our Summertime FUn challenge.
