Today I have a nautical themed masculine card to share with you that
includes a fun way to mixing your dry embossing with your wet
embossing. (For complete instructions on this fun technique - visit the
Cropstop blog.)
After I created my shimmering background, I inked up the front panel with white pigment ink. I then ran my
Paper Distresser along the edges, and attached it to the front of my card using my
ATG gun. Next I stamped my Postcard stamp (Hampton Art) in
Vintage Photo Distress Ink and added a sailboat image (Set Sail – Stampin’ Up) in
Blueprint Sketch DI. After distressing the edges I used my
Tim Holtz Ink Applicator
to blend in some ink for a vintage look. I added an old stamp to the
postcard and tied a tiny nautical knot around the front using
natural burlap string. The postcard is layered over a globe (from World Travels — stamped in
ground espresso), and tiny gears accent both the top and bottom. The sentiment is cut with the Rat a Tat
Sizzix alphabet set and stamped with a linen stamp in
Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
Inside I used my
stencil brushes and a burlap
stencil (Tim Holtz) with two colors of distress ink: Vintage Photo and
Brushed Corduroy. I stamped a sentiment from the
All Things Are Possible set (
Heartfelt Creations) in
Chipped Sapphire and used my Prismacolor pencils to color in certain parts of it.
