Ahoy Mateys! Kind of corny, but since I will be aboard the ship on the Create and Craft Cruise when this post goes live, I thought, why not! And a nautical themed card to boot! I promise I won't break into song, but I am humming anchors aweigh! This card was made with the Samantha Walker Nautical Frames and Accents set. I cut two of the swirly borders, one from navy blue and one from a lighter blue card. I kept the negative piece from the lighter blue and used it on the bottom edge of the card as it looks so much like waves. I then layered the navy blue border and topped it with the remaining lighter blue to create my "sea." I stamped my sentiment on light blue card (great sentiment, huh?). I cut the sandcastle tag out of red card. I used the die shape to make a faux nestie for my tag out of navy blue. I took the centre of the tag out with my scissors and layered it up with my tag, sentiment and faux nestie. I cut several of the forked flag out of light and dark blue and red. I used a white gel pen to create faux stitching lines on the edges and then attached them from the edge of my tag extending outward. I cut a couple of stars from the Home Sweet Home set from Nina Brackett. I added faux stitching lines around them and attached them to the corner of the card with mounting foam. I wrapped the card with red Bakers Twine several times and tied it through a button. I finished it off with some faux stitching in black around the edge. Bring on the summer! All for now, Sue x

Not a corny card at all, it's the perfect card for where you are. I love it!
Enjoy the crafty cruise (I'm sure you are).
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X

hugs lisa x
Love the freshness of the colours - it's quite patriotic too.
Enjoy the cruise.
Jan
this is a lovely card, and I think would be especially good for men, or going on holiday/emigrating. thanks Sue
Very apt Sue as you are on the cruise at present.
Great idea for the sea effect with that die - I believe I have something similar in my crafty stash which I could use.
I did make a fishing card recently and used a swirl embossing folder to give the sea effect on that.
Great card Sue - will use this idea for a couple of male (young and older) cards I have to make. If they mention a game of balancing on a little plank - don't do it!!!
80D
Have a great time.
Kind regards
Dianne xx

screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to
