I made this cute card for a neighbor that helped out around my house. Thank God he did 'cause I'm the most mechanically un-inclined person in the world LOL! I really like how it turned out. The colors look great together and Stampin' Up!'s Wetlands stamp set is perfect for masculine cards. Here's how to make it:
First cut a 6" x 9 1/2" piece of Stampin' Up! Sahara Sand card stock and fold it in half for the base, a 4 1/2" x 5 3/4" piece of Stampin' Up! Island Indigo for the first layer, and a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white for the front layer.
Next sponge on Soft Sky ink across the top edge and blend it toward the center of the card stock panel. Then lightly sponge the bottom edge with Sahara Sand ink and blend toward the Soft Sky ink. Next use a mask with a straight edge to sponge the horizon in Island Indigo ink higher than the Sahara Sand color. Then lightly sponge Wild Wasabi ink up both sides of the panel. Next sponge the reed images in Wild Wasabi ink then the sandpipers along the water's edge and the sentiment in Early Espresso. Then wrap the twine around the front panel, attach the front panel to the middle panel then the middle to the base and enjoy!
Here's a peek at the inside:
