Hello, Sailor for CCMC295

Hello, Sailor

I didn’t expect to make a card for my husband today, but that is how it turned out.  What started out as a plan for a floral card to fit the Create with Connie and Mary Sketch Challenge turned into this.

Here is the sketch:

I knew I wanted to use banners on twine to create the three lines, and I was struck by how nautical it looked.  “Hello, Sailor” was also on my mind after a conversation with a customer.  From that point, it was just a matter of pulling together some coordinating accessories.  I wish I could’ve shown off more of the High Tide designer paper – you know how I love designer paper!

Sailing was my husband’s favorite pastime once upon a time, and I have made many nautical cards.  But for some reason, it was this coiled twine that brought back memories.  (Here I go again!)  I can just see the coiled lines on the docks!  I will try to find a throwback picture from our sailing days for my next “Hello, Sailor” card.
