I love this image but have not purchased the stamp set yet. What I have done is purchased the Open Sea Stamp Brush Set and the digital Nautical Expedition Designer Series Paper to use with My Digital Studio. I printed out both the stamp brush and the designer series paper on Very Vanilla card stock. I crumpled both the image and the designer series paper then smoothed it out and sponged the wrinkles with Crumb Cake ink. I distressed the edges using the distressing tool in the Cutter Kit. An Early Espresso 3/8" Taffeta ribbon and bow finish off the card. I made this card for my husband's birthday not knowing that he really loves the nautical theme. The card was sure a winner! This is the same dimensions and design as the card I posted earlier. I am reposting the card here so you can see the difference a little details can make.
