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.

Great card Da Benz! Love those awesome waves! (See, I really notice when you get punchy!) Fun to stamp on cork. Cute little clouds... RYPH (even if you have to run next door to do it!) Hugs.

What a cute card, Benzi! I love your paper-pieced boat & clouds and those wonderful waves. The cork BG idea worked really well here. Very creative and nicely done!
