The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I lightly sponged on some Cajun Craze ink along all four edges.
Next I die cut the pieces using the (retiring) "Branching Out" die set. I used the 2nd and 3rd largest dies on Basic White card stock. On the largest one I scrubbed on some Cajun Craze ink with my blending brush. And on the smaller one I textured it using the "Forever Plaid" embossing folder and then I scrubbed on some Cajun Craze ink all over the whole piece.
The fisherman image is one of those I thought would forever be sitting at the bottom of the bag of DSP but Terri helped me rescue that piece. I set it in the 3rd die and cut the edges. I glued it to the front of the card it's not quite centered, it's about1-1/16" from the top edge of the die cut layer.
Next came some fussy cutting. I cut the oars, floatation device and life jacket. I glued the floatation device in place first. Then I wound some linen thread around my fingers and glued it in place on the left side. The oars were added over the top of it using Dimensionals. Dimensionals were also used to set the life jacket in place.
The words are from the "Banner Sayings" set. They were stamped on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock using Basic Black hybrid ink and punched out using the "Three Banner" punch. Dimensionals were added to the back of the piece and it was set in place on the front of the card and the card was done.
This was a fun card to make. I love the colors and I'm thrilled I was able to use that image! It's a great masculine birthday card and would work for Father's Day too!
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's masculine birthday card,
Wanda
