Hello everyone,
That last fortnight flew by, and now we are into May already and time for another new challenge over at ..
As You Like It where Elaine is our hostess and the theme is " SOFT OR BOLD"...
Well I really like the bold, not often do you see me with pastel, I like them, but prefer the bold..so bold we go.. and another nautical..
Made a bit of a shape for this one, and no designer papers in sight,
this is all cardstock..
Navy and white is such a lovely bold look for nautical.
This is the shape and yes, it is crooked..
I'm terrible, I do not measure,
I eyeball with my one eye and get it crooked everytime
But get by, and I think the colours are awesome, can't wait to decorate..
but first lets bold it up a bit more with a thin strip of red, and boom, there it is..
added a die cut chain...
and an oval onto the front panel with a nautical scene..
Added Nuvo gold crystal drops for the porthole detail..
Folds away..
and couldn't get by without Stanley..
a ship wheel, lantern and candle ephemera...
which is really the front, when youo pen you see the oval pop out..
so do come and join us
Thank you so much for stopping by...
I'll see you soon, I'm off to cover a few more boxes, my room is looking very cool..
Luv CHRISSYxx

COOL card design and amazing nautical scene.. xx
Lovely nautical card, who doesn't love navy and white and as always all the elements you add make it look fabulous.
I am also an 'eye baller' Chrissy, its so rare I actually take measurements but I think I do fine, so far so good, keep on with what you love, it works. xx
A wonderful bold card Chrissy. You do "by eye" brilliantly, I'd never have known xx
Another wonderful card, Chrissy, well done! Hugs, Valerie
Your fold looks fabulous Chrissy (doesn't look crooked to me...maybe it's because I have one working eye too...:))) The bold colours and design are perfect for a nautical card- gorgeous as always.

Very creative. I love the colour combo and this unusual fold. Elaine
I don't think I see you using pastels very much Chrissy but you have done a fantastic job going bold, bright and beautiful the nautical theme is ACE love the colours and that chain effect, the card fold is something I have never seen before but I love it great adding the oval with the ship and I assume Stanley is the seagull, lol, this is super duper well done
hugs

Well, you had me until that last photo. Don't underrstand at all why the brown ship wheel and lamps, do they fold in on that line? I thought the card looks fab with just the front oval and Stanley! Oh well, I don't need to understand. Just enjoy your play by plays. xoxo
Fabulous fold and Nautical card,love the colours and dies and of course little Stanley.

Your bold nautical card is absolutely stunning! The navy and white color scheme creates a classic and striking look, and the addition of the red strip adds a perfect pop of color. The die-cut chain, nautical scene, and Nuvo gold crystal drops for the porthole detail add wonderful dimension and charm, making it a truly standout creation!
Very cool, I really like the shape of the card and the vintage ephemera on the front and the neat scene for the inside!
Oh it's perfectly sea worthy Chrissy! Love the shape, the gorgeous card colours and beautiful design!!
