Hi there
I did a bit of a clean up of my computer files over the weekend and found a few cards that I hadn’t shown you. First up is a birthday card I made for a friend back in December last year! This friend is in the Navy and so the Swirly Bird Bundle just had to come out. I’ve CASEd this card from Sue Vine – an Aussie demo. When I saw it I knew I had to make it.
The colour combo is Pacific Point, Calypso Coral and Whisper White. The ‘waves’ are die cut with the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits die and adhered using the Fine Tip Glue Pen. This glue is great for the finer dies. Before sticking the waves down I stamped the ‘hull’ in Calypso Coral then fussy cut it out and adhered it behind the waves. For the sail I inked the first stamp in Pacific Point then stamped it off before stamping onto the card front. The second stamp is inked in Pacific Point but stamped in full strength.
To create my ‘lifesaver’ I cut a couple of circles from Thick Whisper White and glued them together.
I wrapped a length of Calypso Coral Thick Bakers Twine around then added a shorter piece that I’d made a loop in. I adhered this loop to the circle with a glue dot. The final step was to add another length of twine through the loops. As I’d used thick bakers twine a added a couple of layers of dimensionals to the ‘lifesaver’ and then adhered that to the card base.
I decided that the sentiment would go better on the inside as there was already enough happening on the front. The boat is stamped in the same order as the front. The sentiment is from Cottage Greetings – one of my favourite sets for words.
Check back soon to see another card I found 🙂
