Sail away...

I had a real "I was just thinking about that" moment on Saturday. Purple Princess Kathy K set the CMLI sketch challenge with a seaside theme... and there was me planning on doing my uncle's birthday card using the beach hut stamp set that very day!!

Well, of course I haven't ACTUALLY ended up using the beach hut stamp. But the boat is from the same set - honest :)  It also fits a few other challenges, including OSAAT who were lovely last week and had me as GDT. Thanks gals.

Stamps - Little Claire. Red BP is textured and embossed with Swiss Dots (though you can't see it - I promise it is). Blue panel cut using shaped scissors and again, is a textured Bazzil, it just doesn't show up. Apologies, photo taken at night, will try again in daylight tomorrow.
I shall enter this into:
OSAAT - something for the boys
Pear tree designs - Happy Birthday
Meljens designs - dots (embossed on red circle)
Less is more - masculine
