Wonderful site for today's Inspiration Challenge! Such interesting stuff! I was drawn to this Apron for its colors and pattern. I love the contrast of the blue and orange and the edges of the apron pattern reminded me of a postage stamp so I used my Spellbinders postage edge dies to cut out two of the layers.
I stamped the image twice..once on a confetti cream and once on an orange paper. I die cut the two, layered w/ a navy square in-between and put them on top of the original cream image, using the Triple Stamping Tech. I added a little color to the horizon w/ Copic markers. The sentiment was die cut using only the end section of the die. The fishing net was stamped using the rust ink on the card front and also on the large orange bg. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Wonderful Father's Day card, Julie, with the nautical motif. Your stacked stamping is beautifully done and I like the tawny warm shades with the royal blue.
