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!

What a fun stencil this is! That tiny sailboat was all it needed. This is cute, LeAnne. Thanks for sharing it with us at Just Us Girls!
ReplyDeleteReally cute card! The stencil takes front stage & does all the work. It's so fun to read! This would be a great graduation card as well!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I'm betting that your friend was thinking it's perfect for your favorite sailor! I love the gradation of blues and your teensy little sailboat!
