The Open Sea


Hi Stampers,

Well now that May is nearly over, I feel like I'm getting caught up on things again - May is such a busy month at the Dickinson house, that's for sure.

I'm back to trying some challenges and so I've created this card for the Create with Connie & Mary Sketch Challenge for this week. I decided to use the new Summer Mini Stamp set called The Open Sea - the colors here I pulled from the Nautical Expressions DSP - Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy, Night of Navy, Basic Gray and Naturals White. I also used circle punches and the Circle Big Shot Die for the world, anchor and compass. Both the map background paper and striped paper are from the DSP and I used a piece of Basic Gray punched with the spiral punch for the accent under the stripes.

A perfect card for Father's Day or a masculine birthday card.

Enjoy the summer weather (at least here in Chicago - where it has gone from winter to summer in two days).

Keep Stamping,
