HAPPY BIRTHDAY DH ♥
It was my darlings Birthday yesterday - won't say how old he was though. Needless to say - there was a GST increase. Making cards for him is hard. I had a choice of Motorbike or boat. I don't think he has ever been anywhere near a bike, so that kinda narrowed it down!

I used my sponges on this card, so I could get more detail on the small space I had to work with - a brayer would have had a hard time! I have popped the sails up with Dimensionals and put hints of Dazzling Diamonds in the water. It really does sparkle like moonlit water! I will leave you with a close up:

Hi Paula,
ReplyDeleteI was at Just add ink and the other blog Nice cards in there.
I love this card for your husband. I love how it turned out. You are so creative. the coloring and how cleaver to put the sides with mountains. that is exactly what we saw while in your country and sailing on the ship straight ahead with mountains on each side. VEry gorgeous How did you do the sky nd water? It looks like brayering

This card is great Paula! Looks fabulous. I have seen this fold online a little lately but never paid attention to the name of it - can you please tell me? Thanks and see you in Auckland - are you going?
ReplyDeleteYou are such a clever girl Paula. Love this card. May need to get his boat after all as I have a male BD card to do with little inspiration. Appreciate you sharing.
ReplyDeleteSigh ... I am in awe of your sponging techniques! When I grow up ... I wanna stamp like Paula! I saw this on Bron's blog ... and yours is just as lovely! Hugs xxaxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Paula! Love the sparkle on the water in the moonlight. I'm sure your hubby loved it!
