Another male card

 

This card turned out better than I expected so I hope everyone likes it.  It’s simple to put together.

First, put the white stamped piece on the blue mat.

Next, take the two life preservers and adhere them together.  I did this to add some bulk to the pieces.

Now take the 4 blue pieces out of the plastic bag and adhere them to the life preserver.  Think of a clock and adhere the blue pieces to the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions.

Next, take the baker’s twine and wrap it around the life preserver twice on each side of the small blue pieces.  You can put the baker’s on the life preserver in one of two ways:  1) you can cut short pieces, wrap them around the life preserver and secure them in the back, or 2) you can use one continuous length of baker’s twine and secure it on the back.  Then use pop up tape on the back in between the wrapped twine.

This is a (not very good) picture of the side view of the life preserver.  Adhere the sailboat image to the back of the life preserver and then adhere the grouping to the front of the card.  Be careful of the placement because you’ve still got to adhere the front sentiment.

Next, adhere the sentiment on the inside of the card.

Going back to the small plastic bag, there are at least 3 gems to adhere to the front of the card.  I wanted them to look like drops of water.  You can always leave them off if you’d like.

And on to the next card!
