Peachy Keen LFIF Challenge #26

The Peachy Keen Let's Face it Friday challenge this week was to evoke the feeling of "windy" "whimsy" or "flourish".  My card is completely literal as I created a little boy in a sail boat.  On my little sailor boy, I used the Peachy Keen PK-485 Snowmany Faces 1-1/8" face stamps.  The other girls on the team created fantastic projects, so be sure to check them out at the challenge site HERE.  The instructions for creating the sailor boy is below.  Please come back tomorrow for the step by step instructions for creating an Accordion Peeker card.  It's hard to tell from the photo but this card has 4 layers inside with staggered waves which give it a deep 3-D look.
