Seaworthy Edwin

Hi all Maggie lovers!  It’s been a long time since I’ve posted a Maggie – even though I’ve been making cards.
This card is for our son’s birthday and in keeping it on a more masculine theme, it is a circle easel card, sans lace and flowers.  He loves to sail and since we all spent some time at the beach two weeks ago his Dad and he did some sailing.
I used Edwin with binoculars (although it looks like a telescope) (sometimes the English translation gets a little lost…..lol)  I sketched a Sea background onto white cardstock, and covered it with a round frame to look like a porthole.  The rivets were made from stacked circles of Silver paper, glued together to give dimension.
Edwin was colored using Copic Markers:  R00; R20; R37; R39; C4; C2; BG72; BG75; BG78; & BG99.
I used a Marianne Creatable die for the large scalloped circle and edged it with sponged punchies from an older EK Success Corner punch.  .
Since I am entering this into the Magnolia-licious Highlights challenge using “paper only”.  I made an accordian chain to pop Edwin away from the background.
The compass “stopper” is an SU stamp, stamped and layered to make it dimensional.
Here is a close-up of the little cutie Edwin……  I am trying to get the hang of folds and creases – I still need lots of practice!
Hope you enjoyed looking at my card –  I appreciate each and every comment, they make my day!
