H ello ! Nice to see you...thank you for stopping by.
I've got a male seaside themed card for a friends hubby. They live close to the sea (lucky things)!

Apologies for the photo that makes the card look misshapen.
It was a 7x7inch card.
I stamped the Uniko sailing boat on to age old pp from an 8x8 pad, cutting off one strip of the shells and adding a contrast down either side. That strip I stuck down the side of the envelope before posting.
I paper pieced the sails on the boat with more paper bits from stash and die cut the little anchor and the sentiment from dark navy card. Added a few waves to grond the ship so to speak and there we have it.
It took longer to get the idea than to execute in the end.
A brighter day her in West Yorkshire with the sun saying hi now and again but it is still pretty cool here though the spring bulbs are showing and the snowdrops are in bloom.
I hope you are having a good weekend in your part of blogland, and are well.
Tale care, back again soon with Thomas's card (probably not arrived due to the cyber issues affecting international post)...sigh!

Fab nautical scene in shades of blue. Xxx
ReplyDeleteMy snowdrops are in bloom as well at long last, I had almost given up home on the and was going to blame the Terrier Poppy from digging them up.
ReplyDeleteYour card in the tone on tone blue is very pretty and perfect for a male.

What a fab card Carole! Am sure the recipient loved it too!
ReplyDeleteLovely day here too - just back from a walk. Will mail soon. xx
A beautiful nautical scene Carole, perfect for a masculine card.
ReplyDeleteSnowdrops and daffodils are just being to bloom in our garden. We went to Batsford Arboretum last week and there were carpets of snowdrops in full bloom everywhere. xx
I like a nautical theme and especially this spotty paper. I'd love to live near the sea.
