Happy Thursday and another
CAS(E) this Sketch week.
The sketch for this week is pretty simple but loads of possibilities :)
For my sketch...I created a shaker card using Wplus9 stamp sets from
Dockside, Dockside Background, Country Charm, More Fresh Cuts, Stackers Rounded Rectangles, Nautical Notion Die, and Happy Trio Dies.
Dockside, Dockside Background, Country Charm, More Fresh Cuts, Stackers Rounded Rectangles, Nautical Notion Die, and Happy Trio Dies.
1. First I created my card base from a white cardstock, I first stamped my bird image and sun using the wrong side of the tiny life saver image included in the Dockside stamp set. Then did a little ink distressing.
2. Then, I created a panel same size of the A2 card then stamped it with wood grain background and the bottom of the panel I stamped it with the rope image also from the same set Dockside Background.
3. This is where I cut my window using the 2nd to the largest of the Rounded Rectangles. After cutting the window I cut another panel this time using the largest of the Rounded Rectangles where I stamped the stripes using the Country Charm with the Wplus9 Lake House pigment ink.
4. Next, I attached my clear cardstock panel at the back of the window, then attached some foam dots to help my sequins move around. The sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh cornflower, cobalt, and clear.
5. I die-cut the boat image from the stand alone Nautical Notion Die. I colored the boat with my Copics but the sail I stamped it with images from More Fresh Cuts. This is a retirement card for a female after all *-* adding the flower image that way I think is better if you don't want a bulk when you mail it :)
6. I added the "happy" die from Happy Trio Dies just recently released for the month of February. The "retirement" sentiment is from Dockside stamp set which I cut and adhere it with foam dots for a little dimension.
I hope you enjoyed my Nautical flower retirement card.
