You Touched My Life

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.

    Lovely card. I'm not usually a fan of browns but this is a nice shade and works well with the coconut white. Thanks for sharing.

  14. 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.
