I don't have any nautical themed stamps or dies in my collection so I wasn't sure what I would do when I saw this inspiration photo, but then I remembered that I had some patterned paper from Webster's Pages that would work perfectly. This card was super duper EASY to put together, I simply cut the patterned papers to size using zig zag stitch dies from Sugar Pea Designs and added the "happy birthday" sentiment from Practicing Creativity. I think the paper is so pretty that it really doesn't need much of anything else to adorn it.
I hope that you'll join us this week at The Challenge. The design team has created lots of inspiring cards, be sure to visit Lesley's blog and check them out!
