June Masculine revisit

 Hello friends!

Happy Monday! 

Today I am at Uniko Blog with some new inspirations!  

I love this nautical stamp from Uniko, it is perfect for creating Masculine cards! 

Card 1

I inked the bottom edge of the card using Background Blocks splatter in various blue inks. Then, I created waves in circles using Background Builders" Round in circle stamp set and placed the Yacht in a wavy sea.

The compass stamp and a sentiment finished the card with simplicity!

Card 2

For this card, I came out of my comfort zone and created this simple card with a mix of patterns.

I created the bottom edge using Round in circle stamp set 2 times leaving some space to fill the red color in between. 

I stamped the Yacht and paper pieced it to create the pattern and placed a pattern paper strip on a red space too and was pleased with the result! The sentiment is from the same set.

Have a wonderful day!

Happy crafting!

Rocker Nautical card!

Hello friends!

Happy Friday!

 I made a Rocker Nautical card the first time and I pretty much love it! Something different from my usual style. It was a super fun project to create!

I missing my ocean trips for the last two years and this card feels like a trip to the ocean, relax in a hammock and stare at the boats at the sea:) A real treat!

I am the winner here:

I started by cutting some stitched circle shapes. Then die cut a splash border out of the white circle die and one from a patterned paper sheet.

Then die cut some triangles out of a white CS and PP to create my nautical boat shape. Die-cut a lighthouse and watercolored it.

Now added some flying sea birds, an anchor and more sea boat embellishments as shown in the pic. Added a die-cut word Explore with some coastal elements like seashells, starfishes and rhinestones too.

Hope you enjoyed this nautical project!

Happy crafting!

The Adventure Begins!

 Hello to all!

Happy Saturday!

A Masculine theme card with a nautical version!

The background is created by a Gelli plate, distress inks and a brayer on a watercoloured panel. 

Added some water droplets to look more realistic for a cloudy sky and ocean scene. It is the first time I used the Gelli plate and love the results, made work more interesting with textures.

Now I used a sea waves stencil and applied an embossing pad using sponge dauber and heat embossed using Midnight dreams glitter powder for texture and giving a nice amount of movement!

Using Opaque bright white EP stamped the ship image. Added some seagulls because no trip to the ocean is complete without them flying by! Adhered the panel to a white panel. Tied a jute twine.

Now die cut some bamboo sticks, some seaweeds out of vellum sheets, navy blue CS, light blue CS and a Lighthouse, a ship wheel.  First I adhered silver coloured metal net and added all the elements along with a sentiment.
