PORTHOLE..


Hello everyone...

I'm sharing another masculine card today with a porthole window....well, not really a porthole, more like a life ring..


I LOVE making masculine style cards especially nautical ones..


For this one I cut out at least 5 circle frames, glued them all together, and then wrapped sections of the circle with twine.....the gold dots are punched with one of those hand punches 1/16 inch I think..
I cut out loads of them and glued them into thick little brad types studs..


Here we go, I knew I had a picture somewhere, I have a whole bunch of nautical cards to share doing this style..notice this window is already inked up...the one I'm showcasing is not..



Here is a side view and I added that wicked Anchor, I bought a real large one and got 5 of theses little guys with it...then threaded red twine through a tag on top...


The other side..

So there we go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..
We had a little bit of sunshine today and someone found it..



This is now my new screen saver..see you is a couple of days..

Luv CHRISSYxx

    Wow, awesome life ring/porthole, Chrissy. Great idea of wrapping the twine around the circles. With your permission I saved it on my Pinterest page.
    That anchor is lovely to finish the card.
    Lovely photo of your cat catching the sunshine.

    You really worked your magic on that porthole...it's brilliant and frames the nautical image perfectly. Cats always find the warmest spots don't they!? xx

    Your twine-wrapped porthole-cum-lifebelt is really charming - a rustic/nautical combination that works so well. And never mind the men, I'd be more than happy to receive that card!

    Love the sun-seeking feline too...
