SOMETHING NAUTICAL..

 Hello everyone,

Back to sharer a nautical card I made using as much chipboard ephemera I could, only cheated a tiny bit with minor details..and the card is big,  10 inches wide open like a double door and 8 inches high..



This is my plan..open..

( I was wondering what the blur in front was and it was Holly)


closed..it open like a double door..


papers from my stash, not all the same,
some slight differences here and there, but they work..


The front cover papers match..


ephemeras out and ready to go..


the cork cut into slivers for the sand..


and onion netting in place and ephemera going on..


I decide not to make scenes I just layered them
 on like a giant cluster.


the inside with the netting and ready to go
and I glued on the clouds..

Here we go...


the front..




this is the inside it has ephemeras but not too many as I didn't want the bulk..








This the outside or backside and a place to write your message.


and back to the beginning..

So there we go, this was a really fun project to do and did I use up lots of ephemera 
chipboards...NO!! but I made a small dent..

Thank you so much for stopping by, I'll see you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Wow that is just fantastic! Such a nice big size to make your fabulous scenes, you did a wonderful creation with your ephemera, the layering is just wonderful and I love the scenes on the inside too!!

Lisa said...

What an incredible project, Chrissy. The double‑door format alone makes this card feel special, but the way you layered all that chipboard ephemera turns it into a full seaside story. The cork “sand” and onion netting are such clever touches, and the inside is just as beautifully considered as the front.

I could flick up and down this post for the rest of the day Chrissy. I absolutely love a beach theme and this one is beautiful. You have so many ephemera but I am glad it only made a small dent into your stash lol. Keep them coming!!
