I’ve had the pieces for this card sitting on my worktable ever since starting the In Detail post on die-cut card making sets. As I mentioned in that post, I’ve been using the Blueprints 13 stitched rectangle die a lot!
I dry embossed Bazzill cardstock with the Memory Box Wave stencil and cut it with the stitched rectangle. I played around with a variety of colors for the boat, the letters, the banner, the sails and the sailboat flag. It took longer than you would imagine to evaluate colors for the hull, letters, a sails, …. before settling on this combination!
I’m entering this card in the Card Concept “Use A Nautical Theme” challenge. My style is Clean and Graphic.
Speaking of die cuts, there’s still time to enter The Cutting Edge Guest Designer Challenge! Head on over for details.

I’m convinced that there is not a theme that you don’t rock!!! Seriously, you are amazing! Not only do you post the most amazing tutorials in the Classroom, but your creations are always beyond spectacular as well! I would likely need at least four pages of typing space to say everything I wanted to about this card, but will limit myself to one word….WOW!!! (I would love to type that in the biggest font possible but alas, blogger says no!)
I am thrilled to bits that you are sharing your talent with us at the Card Concept Challenge 🙂
