And here is the card I created using the sketch:
My husband and I are celebrating out 20th Anniversary today!! This is the card I made for him. When I first saw the bottom horizontal element of the sketch, I thought right away that it was perfect for ribbon and a bow. But once I started thinking about using the sailboat, I thought it would be fun to turn it into a nautical type knot. I used some leftover twine that I received as some packaging and I think it turned out pretty cool.

I love the color scheme you used on this awesome nautical card, Heather! The stripes and polka-dots are so fun together, and the nautical knot at the bottom is absolutely perfect!
