Hello, So glad you could make it to my blog. The weather is a little chilly today. But the sun is finally shinning. January seems to be moving fast. Have several projects that I need to be working on.
For my project share today I made a card for my Son's birthday.
I used a stamp set from Stampin Up called The Open Sea. This Is only the second time that I have used this set.
The first time I used it, I had made a birthday card for my brother just about a month before he passed away. So I now have the card I made him sitting up in my craftroom. So I was a little emotional while making this one.
The background stamp is from Stampin Up called World Map
Cardstock colors that I used are Not Quit Navy, Ruby Red and White
Inks- Not Quit Navy and Ruby Red and White
I used a distress tool to rough up the edges of some of the paper. Also used stitched circle dies and a tiny stitched banner die. Wrapped some twine around the banner.
That's all today. Hope you all can come back. Stay safe and stay crafty!

I have a card with a similar background story to the one for your brother and it warms my heart that a stamp set with so my heart and emotion attached would be used for another precious male in your life. Wonderful card for a male and a super colour combo. The white backgrounds give a fresh, clean look to the card. Thanks for sharing this with us at Penny's!
