M&T Open Sea

M&T presented by Diane Klieger
 
Stamps:  The Open Sea
Paper:  Cardstock – Not Quite Navy and Whisper White
Ink:  Classic – Early Espresso, Baja Breeze, and Not Quite Navy
Tools & Accessories:  SNAIL, trimmer
Instructions:
1. Fold 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Not Quite Navy CS in half for base card and put aside. 2.     2. Cut Whisper White CS to measure 5-1/4" x 4".
3.    Stamp the WW CS with Early Espresso and Baja Breeze using the "The Open Sea" stamp set to create a collage.
4.    Tear the bottom edge ever so slightly and distress the edge with Baja Breeze.
5.    Cut Not Quite Navy CS to measure 4-1/4 x 3-1/2". Adhere with SNAIL to the collage piece at a slight upward angle.
6.    Cut Whisper White card stock to measure 4 x 3 ¼".
7.    Stamp the ship using Not Quite Navy and lightly buff the background with a combination of Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy to soften the look.
8.    Cut this piece into 4 – 1" panels and adhere with SNAIL spaced equally onto the Not Quite Navy card stock. 
9.    Stamp a sentiment inside the card if you wish or handwrite a note.
This is a great masculine card for any occasion.

  4. Love the technique of dividing the stamped image into separated panels. Hmm, I think I see a sailing ship in my stamping future.

    Thanks for sharing.
