Seize the Birthday #6 Masculine
February 15, 2013
Hi there
I finally have a card to show you today using the Seize the Birthday #6 sketch for a masculine card. I thought I would ink up the new 'By the Tide' stamp set for the first time. Here is the sketch:
I have created the sand and water background using various sponging options before stamping elements of the 'By the Tide' stamp set and finally white embossing the coral. The centre circle is intended to magnify part of the scene (hopefully that is obvious). This one got the nod from my husband who has snaffled it for a friend's birthday.
| Project Details | |
| Stamps | By the Tide, Perfectly Penned, Sandy Speckles Wheel (retired) |
| Card stock & Papers | Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake, Whisper White |
| Ink | River Rock, Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Not Quite Navy, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Versamark,Whisper White Craft |
| Accessories | None |
| Tools | Nestabilities Circle dies, Big Shot, 7/8" Circle punch (not SU), Dimensionals, Sponge Daubers, Inkssentials Blending tool, Blender Pen, White embossing powder, Heat gun, Dimensionals |
Thanks for looking!

That's a stunning card Judy, no wonder the husband has it earmarked for someone already. The spotlighting was a great idea - brilliant.
