Sailboat Card

August 8, 2011 by Holly Gagnon 7 Comments

Sharing a Sailboat Card I made to enter into a few Sailboat challenges that I made with Circut Life’s A Beach.

 

Sailboat Card made with Cricut Life's a Beach
 This was a true challenge for myself to come up with an idea using a sailboat.  I decided on using the square card option off  Life’s a Beach cartridge for the sailboat design.  I then used my Gypsy to cut out the square card and make the layers for the sailboat.
Texture and Heat Embossing on Sailboat Card

I embossed the sailboat layers then used heat embossing powder on the mast and cabin.  I tore and chalked paper to make waves, added some red stickles and finished the card with a simple sentiment that can also be used as a birthday card.

Thanks for looking!
