I was in need of a birthday card for a man at our church and as I was scrolling through Pinterest for some inspiration, I remembered that I had this beautiful verse "Plain Jane" from Verve. For a little extra interest, I also stamped a lighthouse and some clusters of birds in a light aqua ink. I finished it off with a button and some threads off a strip of burlap; I felt it added to the nautical feel.
Supplies:
Stamps: Verve "Jeremiah 17:7" Plain Jane; Repeat Impressions "Sandcastle" cluster of birds and "Cape Hatteras Light"; Papertrey Ink "World's Greatest" Happy Birthday sentiment
SU! corner rounder punch

This is such a beautiful colour combo Heather. I love the subtle background stamping and the beautiful scripture. The burlap threads add wonderful texture and definitely add to the nautical theme of your card. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this with us at Penny's!
