Seize the Birthday #2 Masculine
Hi there
After making 2 masculine cards already this week, I almost wussed out of the Seize the Birthday #2 Challenge, which is making a masculine card with this sketch:
However, I pulled out my trusty 'Open Seas' stamp set to come up with this card. I have brayered Crumb Cake ink onto the Woodgrain embossing folder and then embossed the Sahara Sand card stock to achieve what I hope is a drift wood-looking panel. I have also added some clouds to the ocean scene by masking off the ship and stamping with a cloud background stamp (not SU).
So far I have managed to keep my New Year crafting resolution to finish the inside of the card when I make it. It is early days, but putting it here to show you will help me to keep on the straight and narrow! It is actually easier to do it when you have all of the bits and pieces to hand.
