I find nautical images to be one of my go-to standards for masculine cards, and I haven't deviated from that here:
 |
| Supplies: paper from My Mind's Eye; Memento Gray Flannel ink; sentiment from Annabelle Stamps; image from The Graphics Fairy; paper piercer, needle, and embroidery floss; Tonic edge distresser (LOVE THIS TOOL!) |
 |
| A closer look at the stitches & gently distressed edges |
What can you create with a nautical feel? Share it with us over at Scrapbooker's Paradise by next Thursday, November 1st, for a chance to win a great prize!

This is awesome, Jessi! I love that image!!
this is awesome..love how you added the stitching in the corners...
Hi Jessi,
Ohhh I LOVE that graphic, I've used it for some projects too. I had a hoot of a time last night joining a twitter party with Karen from Graphics Fairy last night in fact!
Your card is FABULOUS - like its totally frame-able!
Blessings,

With boaters in the family, it's always handy to have a nautical card or two in the stash. I really like the vintage look of this one!
Lovely work Jessi! What a great image!
You can never go wrong with a good old ship and blue on a masculine card. FACT - Did you know that men don't even look at the front of a card? Well, I'm sure our husbands know that they must look... otherwise their next week won't be worth living!
So pretty! The colors are gorgeous.
Gorgeous card! I too seem to do either lighthouses or other nautical themes for masculine cards. Only thing else is maybe wolves or lions! LOL
beautiful! pretty image :)
Another gorgeous image, and you are right...they are a fantastic go to image for the "dreaded man card" and this is a beauty....if you may combine those words with masculinity! :-) Well done my friend! You make it look easy!
