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!
ReplyDeleteI think it is great.
ReplyDeleteI love all the little details in this card, the velum is great! Perhaps you should look into another nautical theme for the future....
ReplyDeleteThis is a great card!!! I love the feel of it. Very masculine but it has a sofness to it too! Fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful card for a male. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, 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!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the sketch, too and that you played this week!
Another fabulous masculine card! You rock! I have trouble with male cards.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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!

ReplyDeleteLOOOOOOVE 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!
