odbd tranquility


Hi Folks, Today I have a Masculine card to share. I made it for my Husband a few weeks ago and was waiting for an applicable challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs to share it. It was his birthday card but the birthday sentiment is on the inside.
As Boat owners, we experience this kind of scene quite often and it is very tranquil, coming home from any given port of call in the CT/Rhode Island waters. We call it "Dark Thirty". Not quite dark, sun going down...

To make this, I stamped the ODBD Fishing Boat image on white card stock in VersaFine Black ink, poured on clear embossing powder and heat set. Next I die cut it with a SB label die. I masked the sun with a 1" circle punch and sponged distress inks on the die cut with a TH applicator. I used Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade, Tumbled Glass and Chipped Sapphire. Next I put the card base together with Webster's pages patterned paper and card stock, cutting the clouds out with MFT flat bottom cloud die.
