Manly Monday Iris Fold Sailboat card

Welcome back to good old Monday morning. I usually don't mind Monday's because I'm at a different building then the hospital which is nice because it's way less of a drive. Can't beat that. Anyway, enough about me we have Manly Monday to get to. I have a few cards from bloggers to share and then scroll down to the bottom for my card.

week.


A Little Bit o' Paper


Lindyloo's Place



Thanks ladies for letting me post links to your cards. Always a treat to spot masculine/boy cards in blogland.

For my card I have another fun iris fold card which I'm just so into right now. I know you're probably thinking its old fashion but I really like the way it looks and I think its relatively easy to do. It spices up my guy cards. Did you see last weeks tent card? Click HERE to see an awesome camping scene with an iris folding image. 

Both this week and last weeks stamps are by Stamp N Plus on page 26 is where they keep this and last weeks stamps. They have an array of stamps and 32 pages of iris folding stamps. You should check out SNP stamps main page right HERE.

I stamped the sail boat on Neenah solar white cardstock in black Hero Arts ink. The slightly patterned paper I used for the folding is by American Traditional Designs and the card base is patterned paper by Recollections. I matted the image onto Bazzill blue cardstock after I was done folding and inked the sky with Stormy Sky distress ink and the water with Broken China. I used the Picket fence white Distress marker around the bottom of the boat and the surrounding waters. Distress inks, blending tools and markers are all by Ranger Industries.

For the sentiment I heat embossed onto vellum using blue embossing powder and this Imagine stamp both by Stamp N Plus. The ink is by Versa Mark and the die cut shape is by Sizzix. After I made the label I didn't quite like the vellum so I die cut the same shape in grey to go behind it. In retrospect I should have redone the whole sentiment because it's hard to make out what it says. I think if I heat embossed it on regular cardstock it would have been clearer to read. Oh well-Live and Learn-It still turned out nice and I don't think a guy would inspect it in as much detail as I do:)

Thanks for joining us today on Manly Monday. Come back next
