Today I have been focused on getting 2 cards made for Twofer #19 with a nautical theme. I didn't think I would be entering this month but I kept thinking about it and when I came up with an idea I decided that I did have time if I put off something else that I really don't want to do!
Here are my cards:
The stamp of the sun over the sea is part of the free gift from Creative Stamping Magazine Issue 72. I thought it was just perfect for a watercolored sunset. I heat embossed it with silver embossing powder and then coloured it with my Zig real brush watercolour pens.
I die cut the panel and stamped the sentiment and then re stamped it in versamark and clear heat embossed it. The silver EP gives the sea a lovely shine.
Fo my second card I stamped the image in versafine black onyx on a spare oval stitched panel and then added extra 'waves' with a black fine liner pen. The sailing boat was made with my scan n cut. I mounted the oval on craft foam and stuck to a black card base after I had heat embossed the sentiment in white.
I hope you like them.
I am also entering the sailing ship card in Watercooler Wednesday Marsha's masculine anything goes, and the sunset in Casology week 350 Water..
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Your sunset over the ocean is a perfect stamp for our nautical prompt, Hilary! The sunset you achieved with your Ziggies is just like a photograph and I love that you heat-embossed the ocean in silver! Your second design is equally fabulous in black and white with the added little sailboat! Great job adding extra waves and extra bursts from the setting sun! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #19! Hugs, Darnell
Hilary, your sunset is fabulous in silver with the beautifully colored sunset. Such a pretty scene in your rounded square aperture. The black and white oval is quite impactful as well, love the additon of the sail boat. Thanks for playing along at Twofer Card Challenge #19.
Two more super creations Hilary and the one with the inky rainbow background is a real beauty. Have a good Sunday. Bx
Beautiful cards - that sunset is absolutely stunning! As you know, I have the same stamp set but I've not thought of using the stamp that way. Great choice of silver for the embossing, it gives the impression of the evening light glancing off the waves.
Stunning first card with a glorious sun set. Striking monochromatic second card and both cards are fabulous and love the idea of using the sunset for the theme this month x.
lovely cards...so sad to see summer coming to an end where I live.

They are both gorgeous, Hilary - well done with the whole Twofering thing, Jo x

Two wonderful cards and a super stamp xx
Such lovely CAS creations using your free stamps, Hilary. I had intended to use mine for the Twofer challenge, but I went with some other ideas first.
The colors & shimmer of your sunset scene are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing with us at CASology this week!
Lovely sunrise (or sunset)! Thanks for joining in the fun as CASology this week
