Hey Everyone
About a month ago I said I was going to try and make a monthly “man card” to have a few up my sleeve. Also I wanted to try and test myself as I don’t make alot of them – mainly because I can’t tizz them up by adding ribbon or pearls! The sketch at Just Add Ink this week appealed to me for a man card as I was able to add my favourite masculine stamp – Sail Away – to the design.
Here’s my card:
Because of the whole nautical scene I wanted to do something different with the hemp twine. I you-tubed how to tie a sailors knot to make it look more authentic. Here’s a close up of my knots (I’m pretty proud of myself that I was able to tie them!)
