It's Masculine Monday over at SSINK. I chose to use a nautical theme and make thank you cards. Here is all five together. Don't worry, if you keep scrolling you can see a closer view of each individual card.
Due to the amount of time
I spent on the details of the coloring and fussy cutting each image, I thought the layout
needed to be very basic and allow the image to be the focal point.
The lighthouse is stamped in Early Espresso but colored in with Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Sahara Sand.
Next is my husband's
favorite of these cards, the sea turtle. He is stamped in Early Espresso and
colored in with Sahara Sand and Early Espresso.
Here is the cooked
lobster! (in New England we say "lobstah") He is stamped and colored in Cherry
Cobbler. Those legs and antennae were tough but I didn't chop them off! Phew!
Next is the Blue Marlin.
Not gonna lie I had to Google the coloring so I could be sure it was
appropriate for whomever I send this to. I didn't want to color it purple if
that isn't the color they are. LOL. He is stamped in Night of Navy and colored
in with Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy and Smoky Slate.
Final one is the ships wheel. This one is stamped and colored with
Early Espresso. My snips really didn't like the in between the spokes but I
managed. I added the antique brad in the center of the wheel just as something
more to enhance the card.
I used the layout from Create with Connie & Mary (#CCMC383).
