Here's another quick and easy birthday card for my long list. I made two of these ones. I really wanted to use the sailboat image, and I've always liked it paired with the Houndstooth background. I still think retiring Houndstooth and Linograph after only ONE year was a HUGE mistake. They are so universal and almost timeless. Seriously, how much houndstooth am I still seeing 2 years later!Anyway, here's the card. It's funny, this is pretty much the same layout as the other 2 I made. I didn't even realize until after the fact. It's a very versatile layout that works both horizontally and vertically. I watercoloured the main image and added some twill tape for a nautical touch.
Supplies:
Stamps: Set Sail, Houndstooth, It's Your Birthday
Ink: Stazon Timber Brown, Bordering Blue, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Brocade Blue
Paper: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Bordering Blue, Creamy Caramel
Accessories, etc.: SAMJ, aquabrush, twill tape
This is gorgeous! I've been drawn to the sail boat images from SU but didn't have an idea of what to do with it!
ReplyDeleteNice masculine card. I was sad to see Houndstooth retire also. I need to make a card for my Dad's b-day...thanks for the inspiration.
