Bill is my father-in-law.
Bill is a boater.
Bill loves my cards.....but I only have one boat stamp and I have already used it on several Bill cards. What to do?
I pulled out some textured papers I had, some vellum and some sea-faring images and used the Saturday Sketch #128 from Stamping 411:
I wish I had positioned the images a little bit differently on the vellum, but I threw this together before a major covered dish supper event I had at church yesterday, so there was not much time to play around! The colors are not my favorites either, but I do like the sketch and will probably try to do another one with it again soon! I think he'll like it anyway.....
Thanks for visiting today! If you have any questions about stamps or paper, just shoot me an email!

Love it! You did a great job of positioning your images! We are our own worst critics!!! Well Done - Bill will love it!
I think it is great.
I love all the little details in this card, the velum is great! Perhaps you should look into another nautical theme for the future....
This is a great card!!! I love the feel of it. Very masculine but it has a sofness to it too! Fabulous!!
Such a wonderful card for a male. Love it.
LeAnne, you are being too hard on yourself - this card is great! CAS style, the colors lend themselves to the images without being too feminine and the theme suits your recipient! I bet he will love it!
Glad you liked the sketch, too and that you played this week!
Another fabulous masculine card! You rock! I have trouble with male cards.
Thanks for your comment on my blog :) To answer your question, Dallas is a "golden doodle' or a cross between a golden retriever and a standard poodle. Isn't he cute?
Love the whole vellum and frame idea . . . the colors are LOVELY, LeAnn!

This is just PERFECT!! I love all the brads and the soft image done with vellum! He'll really appreciate this one if he's a boater I'm sure!
This is great, LeAnne! I'm sure he'll love it!
This is beautiful, LeAnne! I love the colors and all the texture!
Beautiful! Great man card!!!
You are making me wish for a Cape Cod vacation. I love lighthouses. Your card is lovely. Thanks for playing along!!
LOOOOOOVE IT! The stamping on the vellum and the different images behind it are a gorgeous effect, and I really like that you used some non-traditional colors for a seafaring card. Fab!
This is outstanding! What a great man card...fab as always!
Great man-card! Colors, design, stamps...perfect!
