Statsraad lehmkuhl - Tall ship card

This Easter my dad turned 70!

He has a deep love for all things that float on the ocean, 

fishing boats, dingys, tall ships, did I say boats? The sea etc etc.

So my brothers and I decided to give him and organise a great 
surprise for his big  

seven 0.

 

We booked him on to a working holiday on the tall ship the 

Statsraad Lehmkuhl! 

He will be sailing to from Bergen to Ullapool.

This year the Tall ship celebrates 100 yrs of age,

it just happend to be docked in Bergen when we were over there for Easter.

 I captured some photos of it.....

(above photo borrowed from the program.)

A beautiful norwegian tall ship, 

that i also have had the pleasure of sailing from 

Bergen to Orkney, 

The Shetland Isles and back to Bergen.

The trip of a lifetime!

Well, we needed a card to enlighten him of his trip this summer....

So, I made this envelope card:

Dad was needless to say blown away,

over the moon,

and is getting his sea legs ready for the trip!

Have a nice weekend.

Happy Easter!

Its time for another challenge over at the 

vintage Utfordringsblog

We have three great sponsors supporting us 

this time with some nice prizes!

The Ribbon girl,

7 dots studio,

By digital paper.

The theme this time is 

'Anything goes - Vintage'

open until the 28th of April.

We on the design team recieved 

a great sponsor package to work with from 

7 dots studio!

I recieved one of their new collections, 

Cold Country.

With so many papers, stamps, diecuts and stickers

I decided to make an album to show off all of the lovley design papers,

diecuts, stickers and stamps.

Here is the album,

some of the pages are left blank for photographs, 

the tags and pages can also be used to journal on.

(click on the photos for a larger view)

and here is a rash of more photographs....

 The papers, diecuts, stamps and stamps all

from 7 Dots Studio - Cold Country.

Rubons, fountain pen nib and album rings are from Tim Holtz.

I painted the Plywood feathers from Prima with Inka Gold,

and distressed the edges with distress ink - Vintage photo.

I glued all of the papers down onto thick A5 peices of cardboard,

and distressed all of the edges using a sanding block from Making Memories.

The Vintage seam binding is from Snug-hug 

and the measuring tape band I dyed with some gray drawing ink,

 is from a local interior shop.

Any questions or comments?

Feel free to take contact :)

Happy Dayz! 

Have a nice Easter wherever you may be.
