I do like the card, though. It is very simple but that is my favorite style.
The sentiment is Our Daily Bread Design. I masked it and then stamped the ship which is Clear Dollar Stamps. When I was doing my practice stamping, I had the ship behind the words a little more but the words mixed into the sails too much so on this piece, the ship is barely behind the words.
The compass (CDS) is embossed with copper and then I added a copper brad in the middle.
Love the wood grain designer paper. Distressed the edges a bit. Even with the knotted twine, this card is flat enough for OWH mailing. I try to take that into consideration when I am making cards, since most of my cards go to OWH. So having a simple style as my signature style isn't such a bad thing afterall. LOL
Have a great day.

Love this. The added detail, knotted twine and tiny compass really finish it off. I like the subtle touches of colour on your image and the paper is perfect for the design.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes I also struggle with titles, most of them refer to whichever team I am creating for, out of laziness basically!

Marsha, your card is wonderful!!! I love the masculine feel - for some reason I always struggle with masculine cards - even when I try to make a masculine card it comes out looking feminine! LOL! Your card is beautiful!!!! Thank you for joining us at Twist of Faith. Looking forward to you coming back again and again.

Gorgeous card!! I love just the touch of color on the image and the distressing!!
ReplyDeleteIt's not like you asked but I love any play on words. Because you have the twine knotted, you could have used Not Nautical Knots, Naughty Knots, Not/Knot Too Naughty, ad infinitum. I love cards of the sea/ships. The sentiment is wonderful and that knotted twine is extremely effective. Your style is seriously lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this wonderful artwork with us this week.
