This morning I was inspired to use Sail Away again for a masculine birthday card and this time I've gone with the classic colours of red, white and navy - so perfect for a nautical theme.
A sweet friend lent me an old SU stamp of an antique map of the world (thanks Lynda!) so that has been stamped on my real red background piece and the sentiment white embossed. I clear embossed the boat on whisper white and tied it all together with some wonderful wide striped grosgrain - aren't these ribbons fantastic? - and a charm from my LSS.
Hope you like it!
In the States SU came out with some great nautical themed papers (in red, white and blue) and I'm disappointed we didn't get them here - HELLO! Island nation! ... Maybe they're still sore from when Aussies beat them in the Americas Cup ... LOL!
Thanks for calling in. Enjoy your Sunday!
Cheers

OK....WOW!!!! What a magic card Kerry. I am so glad I (finally) got to see what you have been doing with my stamp.....sadly more that I ever have with it!!! hee hee hee. I love this crisp card and the map is the perfect backdrop for the image. Gotta love LSS's for odd bits of cardmaking gold...don't you. Love this so very much!!

Fantastic card. The elements all work so well together. Thanks for sharing.
I love this card. I love the trinket on side. I love the colours you used for the male card. Just stunning.
