Upon the Ocean Blue Mini-kit
After the long cold UK winter I wanted to design something that would make me think of the summer and the long hot days to come. (I can live in hope!)
So this is what I came up with.
A mini-kit to make you feel as if you are on the beach already.
In this kit you have
Sheet 1
This has your main card front on with layers of numbered decoupage. I have left the background in sails of the ship and other small areas that might be difficult to cut. But of course you can cut these out if you wish.
The ships wheel/compass has a little pyramage, this is layered by letters.
Sheet 2
You have a insert plaque (you could use this as another card front if you wished)
There is a choice of greetings and sea related quotes/sayings.
The greetings say
Good Luck!
Happy Birthday
Bon Voyage!
Best Wishes
The quotes/sayings
A Calm Sea Does Not A Good Sailor Make
Nothing Soothes The Sould Like A Walk On The Beach
I Hope You Always Have A Shell In Your Pocket, Sand In Your Toes!
You Can't Change The Wind, However, You Can Adjust, Your Sails
All the text is on a sand effect background and has been raised to make it look as if it is built up in the sand. There are sea/beach related items on each.
You could put the quotes on the plaque or on main card front.
Also on here is a book mark with sea related pictures on and finally some little brad/buttons for embellishment purposes.
I hope you enjoy this design. As I was putting it together I could almost hear the waves crashing on the beach, the gulls calling overhead and the sand between my toes!
Thank you for your interest.

I printed out sheets onto matt photopaper, cut out elements and attached base to blue mottled paper then to white card, added decoupage with foam pads and finished with glass seashells and string tied with two reef knots.
I attached insert to inside and finished with extra elements, also in kit is a lovely bookmark. A great kit for any sea or sailing enthusiast, with a choice of sentiments for front and inside.
