JEN70 challenged us today to design a card using only 3 - 4 layers and to limit our use of embellishments. I immediately thought of the SU Boatloads of Love stampset because that little boat provides so much texture and 3D effect. The base of the card is embossed using the A2 heart cuttlebug folder. The Not Quite Navy layer is stamped using the weathered BG stamp. I think it looks like waves. I used black fine EP to enhance the main image and colored it with mechanical pencils. The sentiment was also embossed with fine black EP. The card was finished off by setting 2 large brass brads and tieing some hemp rope through them using a nautical knot.
This card is the 2nd in a series of 7 that I am designing to give my DH on our anniversary week. We were married on a balmy afternoon. The sky was filled with the most stunning cloud formations!
Thanx for letting me share!
