Making Thank You Cards

It's that time again... end of term and presents and cards are needed for all those concerned with the welfare of the offspring. So I decided to make cards rather than buy them.
This term the school has taken him sailing at a club that runs sessions for the disabled and he has LOVED it! So when it came to the theme for the cards... it had to be sailing.
I just happened to have these...

They are see-through stamps that you peel off and stick onto a clear block in whatever way suits your whimsy.  

This block is bit grubby but serves as an illustration of the idea. the ink pad I'm using is perfect for this technique as it's water-based and designed to be water soluble for a short time after you've stamped it. That means that you stamp the image, then dip a paintbrush in water and you can spread the ink from a the image to colour it in.
Like this...

and this...

It was great fun and makes for a more personal (not to say quick and easy) card.
