Our neighbor is turning 80 next week and we wanted a special card
for him. He used to sail so my husband and I decided on a sailboat
for the focus. Rectangle die cuts and birthday greeting are poped
up on dimensionals.
Hope you are having a creative weekend!

A wonderful, timeless scene.
ReplyDeleteIn general I think anything nautical is perfect for those grown up men, but for a previous sailor it couldn’t be more spot on than this. I love the design!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful birthday card for your neighbor! I know he loved it too.
