Open Sea Birthday Wishes

Once again I used The Open Sea stamp set, this time together with one of the paper patterns in the Maritime DSP collection. The Maritime paper coordinates with the Sea Street stamp set, but some of the patterns such as the one used on this card coordinate perfectly with The Open Sea and other nautical/patriotic/beach stamp sets.  The little stars were stamped using one of the stamps in the Pictogram Punches set while the sentiment is from the Four You stamp set.   I must mention that the ledger and stars were stamped off on a piece of scrap paper prior to stamping onto the white cardstock giving those items a faded look.  Finally, the red twine is our Whisper White  Baker's Twine, dyed using Real Red reinker and alcohol.  Thanks to this set, I will have no problem coming up with masculine cards.  Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time!
