Sea themed - masculine card

Hello readers ! welcome again :) 

we have a beach / sea theme going on@ Beyond Grey Challenges

all u have to do is - 

Create a Card / Layout / a crafty or a sewy project 

with any hint of Sea or Beaches.

anything goes as long as its beachy or sea related.

Today i have a Sea themed masculine card for u!  

(Yeah i know photography has lilies in the background :P :P But spare that !)

 I also have an *Embossing Trick * to share with u all 

I embossed and created my own vintage paper :) 

want to know how ? follow me !

first i dipped a tea bag + some loose tea in a cup of warm water!
 (yes makes some lovely tea) 
Then with a big paint brush i painted the whole thing with tea water 
Gives the vintage paper feel.  Easy ??

 

Here comes the fun part ! 

this is a trick that colors your paper while u emboss !

All u have to do is, choose which side to add pigment colors to ,

 {you can use your tim holtz distress ink pads too (any pigment colors will do) }

once chosen , well have fun coloring !! 

Run it through your die cut & embossing machine and this is what u get !

I wanted it to be vintage and shabby so i didn't bother to wipe 
the excess ink from the pad before embossing.
The embossing pad i have used here is- Sizzix Embossing Folder- Clocks & Print Blocks

And this is the Sizzix Sizzlits - Washer Border
That i have used just for fun :)

 

I used the Sizzix Decorative Strip- Paper Rosette  on yellow paper .

And believe me ... making paper rosettes was never so easy !! thanks to tim holtz!!

with some stamped images & sentiment from Pink paislee. 

Finally some glittered chipboard letters by the girls paperie. 

If your wondering what the number 25 means , well its a beach themed birthday card

for someone :)

thankyou so much for joining me here again :) 

Good day folks !! 

DO PLAY with us ! :)
