Porthole card - Caardvarks


The challenge over at Caardvarks is a window card - go take a visit - very inspirational DT work.


My friend Lesley had asked me to make a card for her husband Ronnie who is a keen sailor.

So a porthole card seemed like a good idea!


I recently recieved some fab sea themed fabrics as a prize from Ingrids Kaarten.

I have pieced them together for my view through a porthole.

The Background paper is a lovely painted wood effect K&Co paper.

Porthole silver and turquoise card cut on the Pazzles.

Printed acetate for porthole window, Screw head brads and Basic Grey lettering.
