Come Sail Away

I was challenged by friend and regular class attendee to make some masculine cards because she had been running low. Truth be told, I am still out of masculine cards. I just have a hard time making them. I don’t know why – I have two sons and four grandsons so it’s not like I don’t need masculine cards.

So I dipped my toe in the water (haha – get it!) to make this card. It’s a card that could be masculine or could be feminine. The choice is yours. Either way this card is so easy to mass produce. So I am hoping my friend will be able to replenish her supply.

I started with a simple Whisper White cardbase. I embossed a piece of Balmy Blue with the High Seas 3D Embossing Folder. Here is a MAJOR TIP for you – watch the way your waves go. Notice on my card – they are upside down and look like clouds not waves – opps! I layered a piece of Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper over the embossed Balmy Blue. Using some scrap pieces of Whisper White I cut the next layer using the Stitched Nested Labels and stamped in Night of Navy the Happy Birthday from the Rustic Retreat set you could also use the Thanks or Congrats sentiment from the Sailing Home. I stamped the Lighthouse in Night of Navy on another piece of scrap and cut it using the Smooth Sailing dies. I also used a scrap of Cooper Foil Paper to cut the stern from the Smooth Sailing dies.
