Oh Baby Regatta

The Friday Mashup is a fun challenge.  Follow the link to see this week's one layer nautical theme card.

Here is my card:

All products are Stampin' Up!

This week has been my week for baby boy cards; two in a row now.  It is always good to have a variety of cards on hand for friend and family occasions.

This is a one layer card with a baby nautical theme.  The boat image is from a retired Stampin' Up! set called Moving forward.  Because this challenge is a one layer card, I couldn't wrap the twine around a layer and fasten on the back.  Instead, I made tiny slits in the corners of the card and pulled the twine trough to the back.  To make the twine lay flat I put some Tombo on my thumb and index finger and pulled the twine through my fingers a few times so that it had a very light coating of the glue.  Then I was able to place the twine down on the card and it stayed in place.

The pennants image is from a Sale-A-Bration set, available free with a $50 purchase, until March 31st.
