Masculine card with antique sailing ship


Created for the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge - check it out!



Most of the cards that I've seen using the Nautical Expedition DSP are small prints; the backs of these papers have very large images, mostly more suitable for scrapbooking, which has been typical of Stampin' Up! DSP - small pattern on one side, large pattern on the other.  For this quickie card, I used this lovely cutter ship from the "back" side of the paper, and embellished with a sanded and inked strip cut from a Kleenex box, a strip from the Cherry Cobbler red side of the paper and some Linen Thread.  The Cherry Cobbler sentiment is from Vintage Labels, and I stamped just the edges of one of the images in the That's the Ticket set in Sahara Sand to form the background.  Thanks for stopping by!

What a great card - it's nice to see a masculine card for a birthday - and this ship is such a great image. Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday this week.

This is such a solid great Masculine card. I like everything about it. I agree often times the large images on the paper reverse side are great when broken down to a smaller element, and this is a terrific example. Thanks so much for joining us at the Watercooler Wednesday challenge this week.

Hi there you "Little Nut" (that just cracks me up!). Love the innovative way you've pieced this card together. The mix of "found" materials, stamping and Designer Paper is brilliant. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
