Paper Players #83

Happy humpday… err… Wednesday! We’re halfway there! For this weeks Paper Players Challenge they ask that you create a masculine card with clean and simple lines…

I decided to use one of my favorite masculine sets, The Open Sea. The set is still available as a write in (123030-Wood Mount, 123032-Clear Mount) and is great for masculine or travel themed cards or scrapbook pages. I stamped the map and the ships log images in Night of Navy Ink on Whisper White Card Stock. Using my Circle Scissor Plus, I cut out the map and then used the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch to punch out a piece of Crumb Cake for the backing. The log was backed with Crumb Cake and adhered to the background. I used the Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates and my Big Shot with Night of Navy for that. I stamped the greeting from the Family Reunion Stamp Set and mounted that and the map on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I decided to skip any ribbon or other embellishments and keep it really clean. I love the colors and the images, with a quick greeting change it would work for Father’s Day too. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
