I need a second masculine card this month, lots of summer birthdays, and this sketch really fit the bill. I heat embossed this wonderful ODBD sand dollar and water colored it in purple, the color of our living sand dollars here in the Northwest. I created a watery panel for behind the sand dollar by spritzing water color paper with ink. The horizontal panel was dry embossed and a twine knot was added for a nautical feel. Pennant dies from the ODBD Pennant Dies set were distressed and sponged for a border.
ODBD Dies Used: Pennant Dies
Other Supplies: Re-inkers, water pen, spritzer, twine, foam tape
