Happy Boat Day Birthday Card for a Male

Created this Happy Boat Day Birthday Card using the same brass embossing template I used for the Palm Tree ATC. Colored the Palm Trees & scenery using Quick Quotes Chalking Ink. Distressed the edges using Tim Holtz Distress Edger. Inked the edges with Tim Holtz ink. Used Baby Steps Cricut cartridge for Boat image to stamp "Happy Boat Day" sentiment on. Added some ribbon & a boat wheel brad. Card can be used for adult male. Decided to have the flag on the boat that I stamped the sentiment be on face to the right like it cuts instead of flipping it to point to the left even though the flags on the boats on the ribbons point to the left.

  3. Love the boat theme and those cute palm trees. Thanks for the comment on my DT card over at OSAAT. There isn't really a tutorial, all it is a ready made square card 148mm x 148mm (my one was from Craftwork Cards and is called On the Edge as it has the sweet little points on one edge). All I did was opened out the ready made card and then added a score line down the centre of the panel on the left and folded the panel back on itself if that makes sense, its so easy to do but I think it gives the card more dimension.
    Thanks again for the comment, hope you understand my directions :-) Hugs Julie x
