Hello there. The Magnolia-licious Design Team was issued a challenge this month to create a card with a nautical theme, so here’s what I came up with. This was the one piece of nautical paper I could come up with. I guess I never realized that I had such a hole in my stash! For my card this is #364 Sailor Tilda and she looks so sweet sitting there in her little sailor suit – have you ever had one of those? She is available from Magnolia-licious and more are due back in stock. Be sure the check with Diana to find out when :-) By the way, we are celebrating our Nautical Themed cards with a Blog Hop and if you arrived here by way of Suzanne Dean’s blog then you are in the right place. If you don’t want to miss a thing, then you’ll want to start at the beginning and the line up for the hop is listed at the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog. Hang with me to the end and I’ll pass you along to your next stop on the hop.
For this card I chose to color Tilda with Copic Markers. My dear friend Kathy Jones sent me some yummy yummy new paper that is perfect for using with copics and it’s marvelous for blending – it’s called X-press It Blending Card and it comes from Australia. Kathy mentioned the other day that it’s coming to the US through Copic so keep your ears open and watch Kathy’s blog for additional details. For my card I centered Tilda on a panel and threaded twine through a couple of eyelets before knotting – I love the nautical feel! I also embellished the corner of my focal panel with Spellbinders Fancy Tags – the end of this particular tag reminds me of anchors. I tied a bow of over a panel made with Spellbinders Big Scalloped Border Grand and tied on a sentiment is Spellbinders™ Tags Five. I love the background paper – it really looks like burlap. The sentiment is an American Crafts rub-on.
| Card Recipe: Stamps: Magnolia-licious – #364 Sailor Tilda Paper: The Paper Studio, Bazzill Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black Accessories: Spellbinders™ Big Scalloped Border Grand, Spellbinders™ Tags Five, Spellbinders™ Fancy Tags, Jumbo Eyelets, twine, ribbon linen thread, button |
Alrighty, your next hop is to the fabulously talented Angie Hunt who has some sweet nautical treasures to show!!
Big Hugs!!

Beautiful card Becca, I love the way you used the twine coming thru the brads as like a anchor. Of course Tilda is so sweet. The backgound paper is so fitting for the whole nautical theme. Just an awesome card. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D

Hi Becca – someone else mentioned that paper too on PCP – not owning copics, but promarkers – i wonder if it would be good for that too.
Love this card – really playful and lovely for a little girl – but also for a boy. Love the hessian you used and the knots – i bet you used to be in the girl guides!!!!

Wow Becca – you did a great job with your 1 piece of nautical theme paper. This card is beautiful. I’m glad you mentioned the burlap, I was trying to figure out if it was real or not. Great paper. I like how you did the twine through the eyelets and Tilda in the center. Great card!!! Thanks for sharing. :o)

Hi Becca~
I love this adorable sailor girl. I am happy to see them make stamps which have traditionally been “boy” scenes now for both.
I love that backgroiund paper and the use of “rope!”
