Donna Phelan back again.
Today is actually my Hubby's birthday, but I am not sharing a birthday card with you lol Go figure!
I do however have a Nautical Beach type Masculine card to share.
I Need Vitamin Sea
How to create a wood grained background.
Inks in; Teal Blue, Dove Grey and Timber Brown.
For my Nautical Wood Grained Backgrounds I always use a Blue hue. I love the weathered look you can achieve with this color. My background paper measures 4 x 5 1/4 inches and I score it every 1/2 inch. Then I just swipe my ink pads directly to the scored paper several times in each color until I get the result I like. My Tag is die cut using the Tutti Designs Nesting Stitched Tags. This I scored every 1/4", and inked in the same manner as my background paper. The Tag has been layered 3 times on White and Navy card stock.
Using the Cheery Lynn Lighthouses I die cut it 3 times and adhered all together, this creates a wonderful chipboard like piece. I then backed it with some Gold Glitter Paper to show each light.
This is a fabulous die set, it has TWO Lighthouses in different sizes,
a great buy for your money!
My Anchor is by Sizzix, it was an old one I had in my stash. But the Dies R Us Store has so many of them to choose from, click HERE. Adding a Ribbon Tab and an Eyelet to my Tag for accents, I also Heat Embossed my sentiment in White Powder.
Inside I stamped an anchor in Teal Blue.
This card will also be entered into the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, Anything Goes!
