Today I have a quick and easy masculine birthday card with a nautical theme. I started with a kraft card base, and stamped a Kaisercraft fishnet with Versamark on the side, then added a panel of Pacific Point cardstock that was embossed with a Darice nautical ef. I took a snippet of powder blue card and embossed it with a SU! seaside ef to look like water, and then die-cut the I.O. sailboat and colored it with Copics. The MFT fishtail flag banner was cut from white and chocolate cardstocks, then the SNSS sentiment was heat-embossed with white ep for the finishing touch.
I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
Cardz4Guyz #198 - Blue and Brown
Double D challenge - Nautical theme
My Favorite Things MFTWSC #392 - use their sketch
Repeat Impressions DCC74 - the great outdoors
the Crop Stop July link party #41 - anything goes using company products sold in their store
Thanks for the visit - I wish you a happy Friday and hope you all have a wonderful weekend as well!

Pretty card! I love that tiny sailboat and all that wonderful blue with the Kraft. Nice touch with the subtle stamping on the side in the fishnet.

I really love this design! Carol, again, you always make the best cards! Love how you stamped on the cardbase then embossed the one panel with the Seaside EF! So much texture and the added sailboat just took this up a notch! Just so awesome! TFS and today our heatwave ends!!! It's about time! :)
You go girl! I have a piece embossed with this same folder laying on my desk! I adore anything beachy and this is no exception. 4 challenges covered brilliantly!
Oh, great combination of embossed panels and stamping!Wow!! Love so much the nautical EF and the colours you used! It's a fresh and lovely card, perfect for male, I think!!The seaside EF looks just amazing under the sailboat!! Great take of the sketch!!
Really fabulous take on the sketch Carol! I love your combo of soothing colors and texture too! This makes for a really nice masculine birthday card for sure! The embossing folders look awesome! Thanks for sharing my friend! HUGS
