Decorer - By the Sea - another nautical card

 

Hi everyone😀

Today I am sharing another nautical card (see my last post for 3 other nautical cards).  This one is just for my stash and thought that whilst I had all my nautical papers out, I may as well make some more cards until I tire of the theme.

This is also another card for the following Challenge Blogs.  Please click on the underlined link to take you straight to the Challenge.

Cute Card Thursday - Challenge #691 - Anything Goes with the optional extra of bright colours.

The Male Room - Challenge #153 - Our 8th Birthday Challenge - a masculine-themed birthday something

I am still using the Decorer M26 'By the Sea' pack of images which I love so much.  The blue woodgrain designer paper is by Kaisercraft from their Sail Away 6-1/2" x 6-1/2" pad.  The beige arrow designer paper on the bottom panel is also by Kaisercraft from their Sandy Toes 6-1/2" x 6-1/2" pad.

The bottom red panel was punched using a Martha Stewart Arch Lattice edge punch.  The red cardstock was trimmed to 1/16" using my Perfect Layers Tools; the kraft cardstock to 1/8".  The red cardstock and the red stripe on the image panel are more of a burgundy colour and not as bright as you see in the photo.  Red is notoriously difficult to photograph unfortunately.

The wooden stars are from my stash.  The 'Best Wishes' wooden sentiment is by Crafts4U - Wooden Embellishments - Words.  The brass anchor charm is also from my stash - and both it and the wooden elements were glued on using Helmar 450 Quick Dry adhesive.

The rope twine I saved from a price label on a pair of jeans thinking that it was too good to throw away - and it reminded me of the rope they have on old sailing ships so I thought it was perfect for my card. 

Once I finished my card front, I glued it to a kraft cardstock base which I bought from KMart.

I think you could use this card for Father's Day as well as a birthday card.

Thanks for visiting my blog today 😃
