Happy rainy Wednesday, peeps! I have another nautical card for you today using a really, really old stamp for the Retro Rubber challenge! Here's their theme
It also uses the FMS sketch:
And here we go:
This card turned out nothing like I imagined it would. First, I wanted to use gingham, so I printed out some computer-generated gingham, and I thought it would match Azure Afternoon, but I really wanted to use Misty Moonlight. In hindsight, perhaps the Azure would have matched better. The stamped image of the sailboat from Set Sail (2004) was larger than I thought so it went over the edge of the panel. Grrr.
The sentiment from Special Events (2022) was also larger than I thought, but by this time, I wasn't going to do it over, it is what it is! At least I liked the little rope trim, LOL!
This will go in my masculine birthday card stash---I never seem to have enough! Thanks for visiting today!
Big day yesterday--Cassidy got her braces off! Now a retainer!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteLeAnne, your nautical card couldn't be more sail-worthy! [is that a phrase? ask John!] And I LOVE that knot!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who struggles once in awhile with creating. Your card turned out just fine and the recipient won't notice any of your struggles! Cassidy's smile is beautiful!
