Masculine Get Well

Hello, everybody!  I'm back again today to share a masculine get-well card.  I made this card for a crafty friend's husband who was going through surgery last month.

I made this card last month so I don't remember all the details.  I do recall using Distress Inks in three or four blue shades and the acrylic block inking technique.  I swiped the ink pads across the acrylic block in an ombre pattern, spritzed with water, and then applied the acrylic block to the watercolour paper.  I let the panel air-dry and then stamped the ship. The die-cut stitched rectangle is popped up on craft foam and adhered to the card base.

The die is Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles, and the sentiment stamp from Clearly Besotted was white heat-embossed on a black scrap.  Sorry there is no name on the ship stamp but I love the detail on this one.
