Hello, everyone! Today I am sharing a masculine birthday card with a nautical theme! I was inspired by this month's
Taking it Nautical challenge over at
Gecko Galz! I used a ship image from
Gecko Galz Let's Get Nautical Collage Sheet as the focal point. I sponged Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink around the image and mounted it on an angle on a distressed scrap.
Here are the other products used:
- Clear stamp: Antique Map (Flourishes)
- Dies: Anchor, ship's wheel (My Favorite Things), lobster, stitched rectangle (Gina Marie Designs), Happy Birthday (All Occasion Dies - won in a candy from Brenda last fall - thank you, Brenda!)
- Other: Yarn (second-hand store), gems (stash)
