Cased Sailing Home
Today’s card is one that was emailed to me in a newsletter by another demonstrator. It was created by Deborah Woodby and I do not have a blog or facebook page for this lady, however, you can find her on Pinterest. Anyway, I loved her card and decided that I would recreate it. I embossed Balmy Blue card using the High Seas 3D Embossing Folder before adding a strip of the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper. 
The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Thick Whisper White card. I cut Whisper White card using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. I stamped “happy birthday” from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set onto the bottom of the die using Night of Navy ink. 
I stamped the small sailing ship from the Sailing Home stamp set twice above the greeting using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the images using the Soft Suede and Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends. I attached the panel to the card front using dimensionals. I stamped the large sailing ship onto scrap Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured the image using the same Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the image using the co-ordinating Sailing Home Die and attached it to the card front. I kept the inside of the card very simple. I simply stamped the anchor image from the Sailing Home stamp set onto the lower left hand corner using Night of Navy ink.
I liked the layout of this card, so I had to create more than one. I used three different paper patterns from the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper. Don’t they look great?
I don’t make male cards very much, so it will be handy to have a few on hand. Thanks Deborah so much for the inspiration.
Bye for now,
Kris
