Nautical Thanks

 Good Morning!

This card will be entered into the following Challenges:

Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!

This is for our favorite restaurant owner, Gabe.

He runs the Hot Stove Saloon in Harwich Port and we have been 

going there for 20 years, since he opened.

Back in 2017 when he found out we were going to be Grandparents he gave 

us a sweet little HSS T-shirt for the baby, Penny.

Last week we had her for a few days and took her there, she finally 

got to meet Gabe and when he saw her he said 'come with me'

Penny is now the owner of a very stylish HSS Sweatshirt!

Gabe is just too, too kind!

Oh, and if you ever go, order the Zucchini Fries!

I find it helpful to start with a shade of blue or teal card stock

when creating a patina.

This looks blue here but there is much more green in it.

Double D, Nautical

Happy 4th Of July....WOW!

A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog. 

Here is your Inspiration Tile for this Challenge:

I adore this tile!

Here's what I came up with, drawing inspiration from that tile and from my surroundings.  

Lucky enough to live at the beach!

I started by creating my wood grained background, only this time I scored it horizontally!  Backed it with Fun Foam, adding dimension and a nice sturdy place to add the rest of my Nautical card details. 4 metal corner brads.

Using Spellbinders Standard Circles, I layered 2 to create my porthole, I then added some Copper brads for accents, this also was backed with Fun Foam to add even more dimension!

I cut a white piece of card stock using the circle die and masked off sea and sky.  Sponged on Oxide inks and then flicked water all over it.  Gulls stamped in Raven Black ink, from Gina K Designs, By The Sea 2.  Sailboat and starfish stamped in Raven Black ink and colored with Copic Markers.  They are by Simon Says, Sail Away, stamp and die sets.

Sakura Glaze Pen on Starfish.

Inside, Copic Marker colored Sand Dollar die cut and sentiment stamped in Marina Mist ink.

Adhesive Dots

WOS

Stickles

Lots of dimension!
