There are Big Ships

Hi Bloggers.

Here's a card from yesterday's shows -

I love the detail on the Tea Clipper stamp (one of Sam's designs). The Persian Sea Aurora Embossing Powder keeps all the detail and looks absolutely stunning (I think) with this stamp. Salty Ocean Distress Ink is a perfect partner for the Persian Sea Aurora Embossing Powder too.

On to the card - for the right-hand side of the background, I misted with Cosmic Shimmer Egyptian Blue Vintage Mister. I dried it with my heat tool (I'm impatient!) and then inked through the Knitted Mask (don't you think it looks a bit like rope or even waves?) with Salty Ocean Distress Ink. I moved the mask down the card to extend the design. I ran a piece of Kraftcore Cardstock through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Heavy Duty Embossing Folder and sanded it to reveal the core.

I stamped the Tea Clipper using Perfect Medium and embossed with Persian Sea Aurora. I cut it out using Spellbinders Card Creator Fancy Postage Edge and inked through the die with Salty Ocean. I threaded some Bakers Twine from the Vintage Set through the holes.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Tea Clipper, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Persian Sea Aurora. I cut it out using another die from the Fancy Postage Edge die set and inked through the die with Salty Ocean.

I assembled the card as shown adding a couple of Idea-ology Mini Gears and a Custom Fastener to the Kraftcore panel and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Cobalt around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  1. A lovely card, bit its a pity a lot of us missed it, as we are on Freeview. Please ask C&C to put your shows on before 6pm then we could watch. I love your demos especially the backgounds you do.

  5. Morning Julia, Great show at 6pm, missed the 10am show unfortunately as had a family emergency and hadn't programmed the recorder, grrrrrr,, ha ha. I love this card, saw it on the show, the background embossing is fabulous, I agree that the knitted does look like rope or waves in this compilation. Gorgeous.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

  16. Hello Julia, The shows were brilliant, you and Dean are so funny together, loved the samples. Did not think I needed the Tea Clipper stamp, how wrong was I, this card is stunning, the embossing does look like rope or waves and the colours are beautiful.
    Take care.

  25. Hi Julia this is a great men's card and I have used quite a few times since Sam released it, I have to agree that mask does look like knots or even waves!. Great show with Dean as usual and I also can't believe that Dawn is letting you demo and not talking about herself and ignoring you!!! Lol hope you have a rest now before preparing for next week show. Love Lesley x

  28. Hi Julia

    Love this card today. Looks like C & C are up to their old tricks again. I set the recorder as usual to record your shows and noticed that C & C are no longer on after 6.00pm. I emailed them last time they mucked you about. But got such an obscure email back and I couldn't even tell you what they were telling me. made no sense at all to m. They will surely lose customers if they keep mucking about like this. I shall also email them to see what is going on.
