Seaside birthday

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps Built and this week it is a fan favorite: Anything Goes!! And here is the card I created for your inspiration:
I needed a masculine birthday card and knew I wanted to use this sailboat image.  But I was going in one direction with it and it was just NOT working!  So, I went in another direction and I really love how it turned out.  I just love the colors in these papers and they fit the summer/beachy theme of this card. 
  I stamped the ship and die cut it, then created a mask and stamped the compass image.  I used some mulberry paper to add some texture and interest.  Two bits of ribbon and a stamped sentiment and done!
Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the House blog to see the rest of the DT's creations and then get inky and play along with us.  And if you need any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your ENTIRE order coupon code over in my left sidebar.

Fabulous use of this ship on your masculine card, like how you used the compass as a background and the papers are beautiful!
