A Nautical birthday card - Happy birthday Don!

I started off this card by picking colors - Seaside Spray and Night of Navy.  I don't have the Seaside Spray ink pad yet, so I decided all the stamping would be done in Night of Navy.

The background is embossed with a folder that I found at Joann's a few weeks back - anchors seemed appropriate!  For the stamped panel I used a Tim Holtz mini set, called Mariner.  It's got 4 nautical images, and they seemed to be the perfect size for this card.

For the greeting, I went to my new favorite card kit - Looking Up, and punched out with the Tailored Tag punch.  I stapled some Night of Navy corduroy ribbon to the front panel directly, and popped that greeting up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Finished it off with some Clear & Frosted Epoxy Droplets.

I made this for my friend, who is originally from Maryland - hence the blue crab.  Happy birthday Don!
