Land ahoy!

Well, I am currently off on my holidays, and hopefully having a relaxing time. But if all goes to plan, you will still have some new posts and inspiration to keep you going while I am away as I have scheduled some treats to share with you.

This first card was made for one of the guys I work with. We have no clue what he is in to, as he keeps very much to himself, but we still wanted to give him a card on his birthday. So this was the end result:

Nicely masculine, but not full of alcohol or sports imagery (which we did not think would appeal given what we *do* know about our colleague).

The ledger was stamped in Crumb Cake onto Naturals Ivory cardstock to give a nice subdued background, and then the ship and compass were stamped along with a simple sentiment in Soft Suede to make them stand out more. I was pleased with the effect, and hope that the recipient liked it.

More to come later in the week!
