Hi Stampers!!
I just love the CCMC275 Sketch at Create with Connie
and decided to create a masculine card using the
retired Nautical Designer Series Paper (DSP).
If you have not had a
chance to check out the examples at Create with Connie and Mary, I encourage
you to stop by- so many terrific ideas!!
To create this card:
Stamp the compass
image from The Open Sea using Early Espresso Classic Ink onto Whisper White
cardstock. Color the image using the Sahara
Sand Stampin’ Write marker, retired Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils, Crumb Cake
Classic Ink sponged around the edges to age the paper and apply Moonlight
Smooch™ Pearlized Ink over the image.
Punch out the compass
using the 1 1/4” Circle Punch and adhere to a 1 3/8” circle of Early Espresso
cardstock (distress the edges using the Distressing Tool). Insert the Vintage Trinket brad into the
center of the compass.
Stamp the images from
Gorgeous Grunge and Off the Grid using Crumb Cake Classic Ink randomly onto a
piece of the retired Nautical Designer Series Paper.
Use the Distressing
Tool to distress the edges, apply Crumb Cake Classic Ink using a Sponge Dauber
and mount onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock.
Use the Distressing
Tool to distress the edges of the Early Espresso cardstock and mount onto the
Cherry Cobbler card base.
Create the banners
from strips of the retired Nautical Designer Series Paper and the 1” Square
Punch for the banner points. Use the Big
Shot™ with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss
the strips and very gently sand with the Sanding Block.
Adhere to the front
of the distressed DSP background and add a piece of Early Espresso cardstock (from
my scraps previously embossed using the Big Shot™ and the Square Lattice
Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder).
Stamp the sentiment
from Harvest of Thanks using Early Espresso Classic Ink onto Whisper White
cardstock. Cut out using the Big Shot™
and the corresponding Bitty Banners Framelits™, add Crumb Cake over the edges using a Sponge Dauber and adhere to the
bottom right corner of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.
Add the compass image
to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals® and double up a length of
retired Hemp Twine and tie a few knots.
Punch a hole through
the Early Espresso embossed strip using the Piercing Tool and Piercing Mat, insert
the Antique Brad through the loop on the end of the knotted twine and into the
pierced opening.
Adhere to the card
front using Mini Glue Dots behind a few of the knots to finish off the card.
