I wanted to make a masculine card so I chose the SU! Image Sail Away. I tried stamping it with Night of Navy ink, but wasn't happy with the results. So I used the SU! Night of Navy marker and was much happier. I stamped around the main image with an Itty Bitty Background stamp to fill in the "white" space some. For the senti, I chose the word 'BLISS"......I can just imagine what someone feels like when they are sailing.....pure BLISS!
Hope you like my card!

Great card for the male persuasion and a great take on Mary's Navy/Crumb Cake creation. You know you have inspired me. I have several small background stamps like the one you used. I hate empty space but never remember to use this technique. Thanks for the reminder.
