Sail Away...Father's Day (2 cards)

 I made some sailboat cards for Father's Day for a card order I have received. I don't have pic previews, so click below to see the cards...

These are the cards I came up with...

                                  

I don't know what this card fold is called, but I call it a half fold. The card only has half of a front to it and the inside sentiment is hidden behind the front image.

I started with brown cardstock for my card base. For the front fold I inked the edges of some white cardstock with SU! Not Quite Navy and then I matted some starfish paper on top of that (I inked the edges of this piece with SU! Chocolate Chip ink). I added some brown and white bakers twine to give the piece something extra.

For the sailboat, I stamped it and then watercolored the ocean with some SU! Not Quite Navy and a aqua brush. I mounted this on some very sparkly pearlescent blue cardstock.  

For the inside, I stamped the anchor in SU! Going Gray and then stamped the sentiment over it in Staz-On black. I put the stamped image on more of the blue pearlescent cardstock and attached it to the base of the card. I then stamped some flying birds from one of the Tim Holtz sets. I closed the front of the card and lined up the sailboat image and attached it to the card. It lines up perfectly to hold the inside anchor image.

I made 2 of these cards, both the same. 

That's all for these sailboat cards, come back soon to check out more of my crafty makes!

Keep on Craftin'!
