I have mentioned before about how nice it is to work with these particular chalk inks. They have a upward shape which provides a handle of sort. Fits these old worn out hands so well! No cramped fingers working with these!
The sailboat and the ships wheel are 3D decoupaged stickers. The sails of the boat have lots of sparkley glitter.
Here is an interior view of my card... luckily, there was one snippet of the map paper left for us to share.

This time I resized just enough to fit the image on my screen and then I cropped it and resized it again, back to just under 800 pixels. I think it looks less grainy...how about you?
No recipe today, as these were my neighbour's supplies...although the stamp is from Michael's and the 3D elements are from the Dollar Store.

This is really lovely Maureen and I would love to receive a card like this even though, I guess, it is more for a fellah!!! lol. I'm very jealous of your weekly crafting days with your neighbour, wish I lived just a bus ride away - oh now I'm giggling again! I think the layers are gorgeous and particularly love the 'tatty' edges on them. This is amazing.
Hugs to you Sue Pxxx
PS Hope you are both keeping well.
Stunning card Maureen, and the photos are great. The map paper is super and I like how you've aged it. Elizabeth xx
"Shiver my timbers" I am loving this!!! So happy you shared and played along with our INSIDE OUT challenge at The Kraft Journal! Love This fantastic sailing card!
Oh Wow! Maureen, this is really a stunning look. Those are unfamiliar chalks to me, but they surely worked beautifully to distress the edges. I really like the torn map pieces against that circular paper. Kraft was the perfect base for this effort. That decoupage sailboat was fab with all the previous effects you had. You & your neighbor created some awesome look on this card. TFS & Hugs.
Amazing card and such a brilliant design. I like the cut edges of the papers and super boat details xx
Great looking card! I love the old world map feel to this card. All that lovely inking.
Honestly, when I see grainy photos I just think it's my eyes. Your never looked grainy to me... you know any more than the rest of the world looks grainy. Should I not be admitting to my terrible eyesight here? I still have to drive home you know!
I love that map background! It's so perfect with the ship sticker! Your photos look perfect! Not grainy at all.
Amazing!! Love the glittering in just the right places!! Love to see you link up to Paper Crafting Challenges – newer card challenge that has 10 more days to play and this theme is Masculine!! Love to see you there! What a perfectly masculine card!
Wow, you make some of the best cards, but this one is (I think) my favourite.
I love all the inking and the torn paper, stunning.
About the XPress It paper.
The paper I have, both sides are smooth.
Maybe it is a different grade?
What a fabulous card!
And thank you for linking up to Paper Crafting Challenges! So glad you did. I forgot to tell you before that I LOVE the way you did the inside of the card!!!
Beautiful card, love all the detail and texture.
wish I could join in your weekly get together with your neighbour as you make such fun cards with each other. Love the whole concept of this card and those shimmery sails. I have been doing the same with my photos resizing back up once I have cropped them. It does make a difference. hugs Mrs A.
Marvellous card, love your design, so cool and wonderful distressing!
hugs
