Freshly Made Father's Day

Hello!
How's your week going?   I'm glad it's Friday but man, this week went by quickly and I'm fast approaching party day!  I still can't believe that my oldest is turning 6...how is that possible?  There is still much to do in terms of party preparation so I may not get a card out until Sunday!!!

Today I snuck in a few minutes (okay more than a few minutes!) to tackle this week's Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

I am going to be in need of a few Fathers's Day cards so I figured I better get a start on them!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler
DSP: Nautical Expedition
Stamps: The Open Sea, Sentiment - non-SU
Ink: Early Espresso
Other: Early Espresso Bakers Twine, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder,  Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

  7. This is a fantastic man's card. Great colour scheme and love how the ship appears to be trailing the sentiment :)
