Masculine Birthday Card

This was a card that I worked on with a customer for a family members Birthday. I can not tell you who because it will give it away.

We started with a card base of Not Quit Navy (retired), added a designer serious paper layer, and another layer of Not Quit Navy.  We took some glossy paper and using a brayer we added ink colors Pool Party, Marina Mist and Tempting Turquoises to make the water. For the sky we used ink colors Daffodil Delight, Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush and Midnight Muse. With the background done we took staz-on and stamped the sail boat. Took a gel pen and added accents to the water. Before we added it to the card we put antique brads in the four corners. 

With the inside we took and stamped a greeting on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock, distressed the edges with a distressing tool. Sponged Midnight Muse on the edges and adhered to the inside of the card. To finish off the card we added a Whisper White piece of card stock and stamped and anchor from stamp set Open Sea.  

I am so happy with how this turned out. 

Until Next Time...
