Hi everybody! Welcome back to Day THREE of Nautical Week on A Blog Called Wanda! Thanks again for joining me this week and for having fun with me as I share my love of all things Nautical and crafty! LOL. Today's theme is shabby-chic-vintage-beach! I wanted to use my collage skillz to make some cards too, instead of everything being very graphic all week. I had tons o' fun making these two cards. One is feminine and one would be more masculine. I hope you enjoy them too! And, I hope you are having a fabulous week!
First up is a card I made and finally used this amaze-balls paper collection from Authentique that I've totally been hoarding! The papers are all from that same collection…. I jazzed my card up with some pearls and ribbon and shells….oh my.
The anchors on my card are brown wood and they are from Studio Calico. I painted them with pearl craft paint and then glued little pearls on them. I must say I really like how that came out!! The shells are from a Tim Coffey collection called Seaside Traveler, that you can get at Joann's. The 'postcards' are cut out of the patterned paper.
Here is a close up of my grouping…some ribbon and crochet trim to go with my shells and anchor…Lots of layers!
Next up is my masculine vintage card, made using some cool map paper! The paper, sticker, and shells are all from the Tim Coffey Seaside Traveler Collection (K & Company). LOVE this paper! I distressed the edges of my layers and inked 'em up too.
This sentiment stamp is from Stampa Rosa! Remember them? Love this cool font. I added a dark brown anchor die and some 'rope' to my card. Tried not to go too overboard…get it? Overboard? Hahahaha.
As I'm saying all week – THANK YOU for coming by to share with me! Have a great day my ship shape friends! XO. Tomorrow is Whales! Thar she blows! Okay, I'll stop with the jokes…It's been a long week though.
