Butterfly kisses: Masculine card

Hi, 
Back today with Neil and his stunning nautical card! Would you like to receive a card like this? 
Neil used the Butterfly Kisses Nautical plate on his card, which I think is lovely. 




A few details on how Neil made his card...


I coloured the card's edges with Brushed Corduroy Distress ink and spritzed with Perfect Pearl mist to add some shimmer.
I cut another piece of card and stamped the main image with Coffee Archival ink; blended some Distress ink in Forest Moss and Aged mahogany and then spritzed with some water to add some interest.

The sentiment was stamped in Plum Archival ink onto a piece of scrap card, edges torn and the same Distress Inks were used to add colour.


I highlighted some of the rope and compass with Glossy Accents too before adding everything to the card as seen. I also went over some of the main image with a black marker and used the marker to run around the edges of the card too.
