Hello Friends
It is Pam sharing with you today! CHRISTMAS IN JULY SALE SAVE UP TO 65%!! CHECK IT OUT HERE!
The card I am making today is for a retirement celebration. It is designed especially for a sea loving guy. He can hardly wait to enjoy sailing and traveling to exciting places in his new found free time! I am featuring the Pirate Ship, Ship's Wheel and Map & Spyglass dies.

Design Steps:
1. Using the following dies: Pirate Ship, Map & Spyglass and Ship's Wheel cut out the following colors of card stock: red, black, yellow, Kraft, and gray (Pirate Ship) light blue, cream, parchment, red and navy (Map and Spyglass) Kraft (Ships Wheel)
2. Shade the pieces and then assemble with a fine tip glue
3. Using the 5th and 6th from the largest Pierced Square dies cut out 2 squares in white. Using the 3rd from the largest Pierced Rectangle die cut out 1 rectange in white. Run the pieces through an embossing folder and then blend with blue ink
4. Arrange the pieces on the rectangle and squares and then glue down
5. The base is an A2 Kraft card stock, followed by cream colored card stock cut 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and the top layer is black card stock cut 4 x 5 1/4. Ink the edges of the kraft and cream card stock and glue together. Add the black layer on top of the cream card stock. For a little added texture I dyed cheesecloth with some TH Vintage Photo ink and placed it on top of the black card stock
6. I was able to attach the cheesecloth by placing a good amount of glue on the backs of the rectangle and square pieces. Add the sentiment and your card is complete
