A masculine card today, made while watching the football World Cup on television. Anyone else following the football and crafting at the same time?
The yacht and waves are from the Poppystamps 'Marine Sailboats' set of dies. For the sea I found a scrap of turquoise glossy card which, as well as matching some of the anchors on the paper, embossed beautifully with a Sheena Douglass 'Water Ripples' embossing folder. I made a frame with Memory Box 'Stitched Scalloped Circle' and 'Stitched Circle' dies. After assembling the little scene, I added the frame and on the back attached a white 'Stitched Scalloped Circle' die cut before attaching to the card blank so the card looked neat from the back. The patterned paper is from a Trimcraft 'Sail Away' paper pad, which I've had for ages but never used. Now that I've finally used the first sheet, I'm sure I'll be using them much more! The red panel is raised up on foam tape and a sentiment and punch dots added.
I am joining in the following challenges:
This is so pretty!

Great male make, beautiful summery card
ReplyDeleteA wonderful masculine easel card Liz and a great idea to craft whilst watching the World Cup. The sweet sailing boat is complemented so prettily by the background paper and the also the red sentiment strip matches the hull of the boat too. x

Amazing sailing themed easel card, all matches just perfectly!!!
ReplyDeleteA fantastic card Liz, but I have to admit that I would rather be crafting than watching the world cup.

Well I am certainly watching the footie Liz although not crafting at the same time, but think a lot of the games so far are lacking in excitement but hopefully things will improve after the group stages.
ReplyDeleteA great masculine card and perfect for our Allsorts theme, many thanks for joining in.

Love those little red waves and the sweet little sailboat. The paper is perfect and that is a cute design for an easel card. I do watch football in the fall while I'm crafting too.
