DS96 & PP156 {Baby Boy Sailboat Card}

Despite the rain, yesterday was a good day! And the rain just makes the snow melt and wash away, so it's not such a bad thing! I spent the morning cleaning the apartment and my crafting table (scraps of paper everywhere!). I then picked up my hubby from the airport (it was SO good to see him!) and spent the rest of the day papercrafting (only 2 weeks left before the craft show!)

For today's card, I played along with two challenges: Deconstructed Sketch and Pal's Paper Arts. 

 

 

I love this colour combo! It's perfect for a baby boy card. And the sketch has just enough layers. Instead of the heart shape, I decided to put together a sailboat using punch art.





 

It was super easy to make! I simply cut a 1-3/8" circle in half for the boat itself, and the sails were created by cutting 1-1/4" and 1" squares in half. I popped it up to give it some dimension. A small green heart is added to one of the sails and bakers twine is wrapped around the boat for an added embellishment.

Thanks for looking!

FMS79 {Sailing Away}

Happy Friday! Ok, well technically it's Thursday, but it's the last work day of the week! Hoping this day will fly by! Another highlight... have a look at our weather forecast for the weekend:

It's going to be gorgeous! I see a couple of nice leisurely walks in the sunshine in order for this weekend :)

I was getting so tied up in making flowerpot cards that I almost forgot about my card for today's post! So I went through the card challenges that came out today and chose a new sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and a colour combo from Scrapmaster's Paradise.

 

These colours could either be used for a baby boy card or a masculine card (in my opinion). I chose to make a Father's Day card. I used a Sailboat stamp set that I bought from a craft store in London, ON (can't remember the name, unfortunately) and made a fairly clean and simple card. Here's how it all got pieced together:

 

I love the layout! I think this is one I may turn to more often. And the colours coordinate so well together! I popped up the matted sailboat image and stamped birds in the corner. Early Espresso taffeta ribbon is added to embellish the card.

 

 

A perfect masculine card, don't you think?

 

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to visit tomorrow for a new KCRR challenge!
