Add Stampin’ Seal to the Vellum piece only in the center near top and bottom, where the sailboat and sentiment will be attached.
If you haven’t already, die cut the 3” circle from Basic White Cardstock and the 2 ⅜” circle from the DSP. Use Stampin Seal to attach the two circles together.
Use Stampin Dimensionals to attach the circles to the Vellum.
On Basic White cardstock scrap stamp the sailboat and mast with Starry Sky in and the sails with Real Red ink. Punch pieces out with the sailboat builder punch.
On a silicone matte, assemble the sailboat and use Mini Glue Dots on the back to hold sailboat together.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the sailboat to the DSP Circle.
Stamp the sentiment in Starry Sky Ink on the 1 ½” h x 1 ¼” w sentiment layer.
Use Stampin’ Seal to attach the sentiment to the ¾” h x 3” w DSP .
