My favorite cards to make are masculine ones, and here I went with a nice and simple version with a nautical theme. I do love to be by the sea and feel the salty air.
I used stamps from 2 different Heartfelt Creations sets and colored with Promarkers. Paper is Maja Design, sentiment is Penny Black and the twine was a gift some years ago. Stitched dies are MFT.
I loved this week's sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches, this is one I think I'll use for more projects....
Theis card is for:
Freshly Made Sketches - #530
Allsorts - #671/2 Masculine
Sparkles Forum Challenges - #150 For Men Only
Your colour combo is beautiful Pia,love the background and tan together with just a hint of blue for the sea
ReplyDeleteFabulous masculine card and really love the image and co-ordinating paper

As always, we are very different, for me masculine cards are an impossible mission! LOL :D But one thing is the same: I too love living near the sea and smell the salty air. :) Your take of the sketch is absolutely amazing with the beautiful dp and the fabulous image!
