By the Tide Masculine Card

037A guy card!  Perfect for Father’s Day!  Guy cards are tough to design but the By the Tide stamp set is perfect for guys!

I had seen a card using this stamp set and the Burlap Ribbon and thought “Hmm…I like that combination….what can I come up with?” and this card was it!  Ha!

The browns I used on the card are Baked Brown Sugar and Soft Suede.  Don’t they go well together?

The card is pretty easy.   The background is the Honeycomb Embossing Folder.  I used the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch and the Starburst Framelit for the background for the fish but I did have to cut out the fish by hand….no punch.  The gals in class yesterday were a little disappointed as they don’t like to cut things out!

I found that the best way to adhere the Burlap Ribbon is with a liquid glue like the Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue that Stampin’ Up! carries.

I like the way this card turned out.  It may even be one of my swaps for convention!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
