A Really Big Card!

Happy Thursday, peeps! My day is all mixed up today and I got a late start!  I did get in some stamping time this morning and my card fulfills three challenges:  JUGS (stencils); JAI (stencils & diecut) and Krafty Chicks (masculine):  




My friend Martha recently gave me a stencil called Listen to the Sea, from Hero Arts.  It is a BIG stencil!!!  I didn't want to lose any part of it, so this is a big card!!  It's 5 1/4 x 6 1/2"!!!  So here we go:




I stenciled in the different "waves" with variou blue inks, then added a little sailboat that I heat embossed on vellum with black embossing powder and diecut with a Stylish Shapes dies.  It was colored in with Blends:



Since the card base was Secret Sea, I added a white panel on the inside and stamped my birthday sentiment from Sweet Ice Cream:


I just love this stencil---it's big but really has a lovely message!  Perfect for a guy card! And I had to make a special envelope for it because it was so big!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
