Fathers Day Sailboat Card

Father's Day cards are always a challenge for me. I think this is because I struggle with those "male themes". A safe design is boats or sailboats, so this Father's Day card uses the sailboat theme.

My goal was to create a card that was easy to make. I started by doing a search for clipart, and looked for a sailboat. Once I picked the one I wanted, I printed it along with "Happy Father's Day" directly onto the card.

Now, the only thing left to do was add quilled embellishments.

For the Quilling I did the following

Clouds

• 1 - 4 in (10.2 cm) S-Scroll cloud


• 2 - 3 in (7.6 cm) C-Scrolls to make a cloud.
  

Birds

• 3 - 2 in (5.1 cm) strips folded in half


• Use 1/16th in wide paper.
  

Waves

• 2 - 6 in (15.2 cm) Sculpted Loose Coils


• 1 - 3 in (7.6 cm) Sculpted Loose Coil


• 1 - 3 in (7.6 cm) S-Scroll


• Place these underneath the sailboat to add the look of water / waves.

Sails

• Take multiple colored strips and create Triangle Coil.


• Make one larger for the outer sail that is blowing in the wind.


• Create a 6 in (15.2 cm) Triangle for the flag at the top of the mast and there you have it.

A simple card, using few quilled embellishments that add to the overall look of your card.

I hope you enjoy making this card.

Have fun and Enjoy!
