The Open Sea in Style

Okay.... here's the second day in a row of my card a day challenge to myself. I need to get some father's day cards done, both for my own father and also for the little shop that I sell some of my stuff in. Today's card uses the sketch challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary.

Today I used my new set, The Open Sea. I ordered a bunch of masculine stuff from the mini cattie and haven't used most of it yet! I had to change that today with this set, which I am seeing everywhere!!!

I started with a base of Very Vanilla. There is a layer of Crumb Cake on top of that. Then, I have three strips of vanilla that are stamped with images from The Open Sea set in Night of Navy, Crumb Cake, and Cherry Cobbler. The ship is stamped in Early Espresso is layered on a piece of Night of Navy. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, one of the best sets I've ever purchased! I use it all the time! I also added baker's twine in Cherry Cobbler.

As usual, I made two cards and changed up the second one a bit. I do like it the best. I attached the sentiment to the side of the main image. I also sponged some Crumb Cake ink around the edge of the boat image and I moved the twine to the bottom edge of the card.

Thanks for looking!
