Sailboat

This is the card that I made for my eldest son to give his Grandad on his birthday.  I chose the image of a lighthouse because my Dad was born on the Isle of Wight and loves the sea and all things associated with it.  It also reminds me of lovely summer holidays spent on the Island.

This is another Paper Creator card kit.  I have added some of my own papers from the docrafts 'Ahoy There!' collection and a sentiment from LOTV, stamped onto a Spellbinders Ribbon Banners die cut, that I have inked whilst still in the die.
