I created this for today's Inspiration Challenge... we were to take our inspiration from this great wedding planning site called The Perfect Palette. I would usually choose one of the elegant florals for my inspiration, because that's just me. LOL! However today I stepped outside my usual style and created a boy's card using the very first Nautical wedding, and specifically the cake as my inspiration, found HERE
I used ODBD Patriotic Pennants, Little Boys and Anchor for my stamps and the ODBD Custom Pennant Die set to cut my pennants. I used 2 different Spellbinders grommet tags for my sentiment and I used Su! markers to try to color the anchor like the one on the cake. I added bakers twine and brads to finish off.

I totally loved that cake too! You really nailed it - and I believe that your card would have been the PERFECT wedding congratulations card for that couple. I almost wish you knew them! AWESOME!

Clean, crisp and fabulous! The embossing folder is the perfect background for the nautical theme! Have not seen that one before! Beautifully done, Grace!
