It is the middle of July and sun, surf and sand is on the summer agenda for many. Believe it or not, I do not have one single nautical image other than this sailboat, so I am sailing instead of surfing today.
I must admit, I struggled with this one and it shows...my apologies. Think there is a reason I don't have surf themed stamps LOL! I love this sailboat image that has been retired by Stampin' Up as it makes great masculine cards. I sponged on the colour blocks as per the blocks of surfboard colour in the photo and added a touch of twine and a button for a bit of interest. Think hubby or son will end up with this one as they are not as enamoured with receiving a "pretty" card as they care a lot more about what is on the inside - phew! Check out the rest of the Crew for some great inspiration.

ReplyDeleteFabulous take on the inspiration photo, Marisa!
ReplyDeleteStruggles or not I think you've made a great card. The horizontal stripes mimic the colors of the skyline perfectly and the simple sailboat is a wonderful image.
ReplyDeleteFabulous nautical card, Marisa! Love your take on the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove it...fun card!! I have been crazy busy this summer...two trips home and getting ready to go to Jamaica!!that will be the fun trip...not to say I didn't enjoy seeing family!!
ReplyDeleteYou may have struggled with this one, Marisa, but I love it! I find masculine card very hard to make (and truthfully, I don't like to make them...love making cards for gals! Haha!). But I love the sailboat and how you've sponged the colors across much like the surfboards. What a great inspiration card! Hugs, sweet friend! xoxo
