Hi Bloggers.
One for the boys today -
For the background, I ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Checkerboard PinPoint Embossing Folder and inked around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I wrapped a piece of mesh ribbon from my stash around the centre.
I stamped the frame and the ship from the Justrite Anchors Away Clear Stamp Set using Sepia Archival. I cut it out using Justrite Nested Medallion Labels Die Set and inked through the die with Vintage Photo.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Sepia Archival. I cut it out using a Spellbinders Ornate Squares Die and inked through the die with Vintage Photo.
I cut the largest 2 dies from Sue's Valencia Die Set together out of Chestnut Card.
I attached a Creative Expressions Fancy Key Charm and a Chain Tassel
using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue and some frayed strands from my
Mesh Ribbon.
I assembled the card as shown adding some Brads to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Ivory PVA around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

Julia - was not aware of the rope frame stamp - looks great - might have to go and buy it.
ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteI love this stamp and the dies. I don't think I've seen this stamp before.
Hi Julia, this format for me makes really good male cards, by interchanging words and pictures. Thank you for the idea. The sentiment I would use a lot.
