Nautical Birthday Card + Red, White and Black

A masculine Flying Seagull Fold card.

The patterned paper is from a Trimcraft 'Sail Away' paper pad.  I die cut a Memory Box 'Marina Sailboats' yacht, layered it on a Memory Box 'Stitched Circle Layers' die cut and a slightly larger red mat die cut using the same set.  The sentiment is a SU stamp.

The card folds flat for posting.

I am joining in the following challenges with this card:

 A second card is from my draft folder, which I didn't get round to posting on my blog.
I followed a sketch for this card and the paper, flower stamps, leaf die and embossing folder were all from one of Lisa Horton's box kits.  I added a few tiny red pearls and some red and white twine.

  10. This is a terrific card shape and I love the nautical theme Liz which is perfect as this is called a 'flying seagull', and then your second card is very striking with the black on white dots and the red flowers with coordinating red mats and layers and baker's twine and enamel dots give a very pretty clean, crisp look. x
