It’s Thursday, and time to play at Pals Paper Arts. This week we have a Red, White and Blue color challenge for you. Although our badge says Midnight Muse, please feel free to substitute Night of Navy, if you wish. I decided to make a masculine card using patterns from the new Maritime Designer Series Paper Collection. I hope you like today’s card.
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- A beautiful mix! In addition to cute and whimsical patterns on one side, the Maritime Designer Series Collection has a beautiful mix of sophisticated patterns on the flip sides. I love the Sailor’s Knot and Anchor patterns, which coordinate beautifully with the Real Red Small Grid paper.
- Perfect for pearls! To add a touch of interest, Pearls were added to the center of each knot.
- Selectively inked! My favorite sentiment from the Really Good Greetings set was selectively inked using Real Red and Night of Navy Stampin’ Write Markers.
When I saw the Pals had a red, white and blue challenge this week, I was in a panic. I had just created a red, white and blue card for last Sunday’s Paper Player challenge. But when it was all said and done, I was pleased with how this card came together. As for the pearls, the men in my life are used to getting cards with pearls on them. However, they could just as easily be left off, if desired. What do you think of today’s card? Won’t you let me know in your comment today? Your comments are important to me. And remember, if you have any questions about the cards I creat or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…

This is fabulous – I am such a sucker for a beautiful Red/White/Blue card…and this IS beautiful….including the pearls!
Great use of the this new DSP to create a masculine/nautical themed card in blue, red and white. Slipping those pearls on the card was just too cute and so perfect for the middle of the knot. Dar–who thought the coast guard may need to come rescue us from all the rain we got this week in central IL. LOL
Love it, as always!
Fabulous job Ann!!! Absolutely love it my friend!!!
This card is really nice. Very DISTINCTIVE. Thanks for sharing.

Love your masculine red, white and blue card. I think the pearls look fine. TFS
Love your card, the new DSP, and, of course, the pearls!
Love the card, Ann – but the animal cruelty league will be alerted! So many oysters had to die for this card!
Very nice card Ann. I am sure the “boys” will love it!
Great card Ann! Love the Red/White/Blue with this DSP and theme.. the touch of red pearl… very nice.
Beautiful card Ann.
I like the pearls. After all these are the pearls that the men found in their oysters. :}
Beautiful Ann! I love all your layers and the added pearls, especially the red ones adding great balance to your card.
What a lovely man card. Colors blend perfectly.
I didn’t see the pearls until I scrolled down to the next pictures, and it made me laugh right out loud. There is no doubt that you are the Queen of the Pearls!! : ) Great card!
