Nautical

When I saw this challenge I was fairly sure I would go with a masculine card because I knew I wanted to use the compass charm I had found. This is my submission to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #113.



Three panels of white cardstock were cut and the edges sponged with navy ink. Three strips of DSP were cut and adhered to the white panels. Craft foam was adhered to the back of each white panel and they were adhered to a panel of Coastal Cabana cardstock.

Hemp was used to string the charm and a few knots were tied in the hemp to add to the nautical look. The loose ends of the hemp was attached to the back of the panel. The sentiment was added along with a medium metal stud stick-on. The layers were all adhered to the navy blue card base. A white panel was adhered to the inside then decorated with strips of coordinating paper.

Consider joining in the challenge fun at Atlantic Hearts!

  2. At first I thought you made your background paper too, nice combination of papers. Right to the sketch, and the distressing goes well with this card. The charm is a good choice and finishes off the card nicely.

  7. I love how you incorporated a compass charm along with the J.R.R. Tolkien quote, "Not all who wander are lost." Also, knotting the blue hemp for a more knot-ical look (sorry, could't resist!) was a perfect finishing touch!.
