Masculine and Marine

Welcome

Thank you for once again visiting my blog

This card was made for a Brother in Law who once served in the navy, so it has a bit of a marine theme to it...

At least the papers I used did :)  They are from an old KaiserCraft pad.

The card concept came from a video by Natasha Foote, here.   Thanks for the inspiration, Natasha.

The card fold is a basic gatefold, but with three alternating tags/flags adhered on the top.

The sunlight makes it look as though I had two different papers on the outside panels, but I can assure you they were the same!!

I kept the paper on the centre tag plain, and added the sentiment onto that, and three blue embossed brads down one end.  The sentiment is one from a freebie sheet from Natasha Foote Creative

The top and bottom tags I used pattern paper on, and added a strip off another paper through the centre, then added white dots with a gel pen for added accents

The side panels inside had patterned papers added, and the central panel was left free for writing on, apart from the washi tape, that I also added to the envelope.
