This is a gatefold birthday card for my son Jason
I remade this card about three times. The Night of Navy paper looks much brighter blue in this picture than it is IRL
TPC Studio Heartfelt Travel design paper
SU Night of Navy cardstock
SU Cajun Craze cardstock
Sailboat wood mounted stamp is one I got at a yard sale for a $1
Stamped in SU Night of Navy
Used circle Spellbinder to cut the compass from the paper and the SU Night of Navy circle underneath it.
SU dimensionals under the edge of the circle for easy tucking!

Wow ... I love the strong, saturated colors together - they look amazing. And a perfect masculine card. I would never have thought of stamping dark blue onto the patterned Cajun Craze. It looks amazing! I'm sure Jason will love this!
This is beautiful! I love the image and the paper then that beautiful compass. Those two colors look amazing together. I never would have thought of them. I'm not crazy about orange but its beautiful with the NN. I will be using these.

I like this Peggy. Try photographing the card again from a different angle (watch your sun position). I can see the true blue on the right side. It's a great card. And the stamped image is a wonderful choice over that lovely paper - another perfect masculine card!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
