Dad's Birthday

This is a card I made for one of my Son's to give his Grandad recently.  I have used a fab seaside image from one of my Ooh La La CD's because Dad was born on the Isle of Wight and loves the Sea.


I got the idea for the porthole from Debby's blog - A Scrapjourney - you must have a look at her blog she makes the most wonderful cards, the brads are arranged a little differently on mine.   I have glossed the porthole, anchor and wave embellishment with 3D Crystal Lacquer.  Full details of everything I have used are listed below:

This is the inside of my card, I have used the same papers and design but left out the brads:


Card Recipe:

Image:  Ooh La La - Boys to Men CD
Papers:  Ooh La La - Boys to Men CD
Card Stock:  Crafter's Companion - Core'dinations
Tools:  Spelbinders - Nautical Frame and Accents, Standard Circles
Embellishments:  brads and raffia from stash
Sentiment:  LOTV 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
