A masculine sailboat themed card made using the Sunrise Sailing dies and Cheers & Sips stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Masculine Sailboat card

The card I am sharing today was inspired by Mikaela Titheridge who created a similar card for our team training event. Her card was floral, but I decided to adapt the design and made my masculine sailboat card using the Sunrise Sailing stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make my card are:

 

To recreate the masculine sailboat card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Misty Moonlight card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Thick Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 4” by 2”
Misty Moonlight – 3⅝” by ⅜” x 2
Scrap Basic White, Coastal Cabana & Misty Moonlight card

 

Using the largest of the Water Painter Brushes I painted dilute Pool Ink in stripes across the Thick Basic White panel. Mikaela used Fluid 100 paper, but I didn’t have any to hand. I found that the Thick Basic White copes with a little water, it does warp but when it was dry I placed it under a heavy book for about 30 minutes and it flattened nicely. I glued it to the Misty Moonlight panel and then to the Thick Basic White card front.

I flagged the end of the 4” by 2” piece of Basic White card and swirled on some Pool Party ink using a Blending Brush. The strips of Misty Moonlight card were glued either side of the banner piece and the whole piece was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

From scrap Coastal Cabana and Misty Moonlight card I die cut the small and medium sailboats and glued the pieces together.

From scrap Basic White card, I die cut the smaller clouds and glued them to the banner, overlapping on both sides. The sailboats were then added to the banner.

The sentiment, from the Cheers & Sips Stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card with Misty Moonlight ink. I trimmed it down and added it to the card front.
