I had to give this stamp set one last lovin' before it retires for good… May 22nd, 2016, The Open Sea becomes "while supplies last" and then will no longer be available once it sells out in both wood mount and cling mount. So if you like it, get it now! Same deal with the World Map background stamp–word to the wise.
This was an easy card we did for my Calendar Club here in Watertown. We meet once a month on the third Monday nights of the month to make cards, and we'd love to have you join us! we make 12 in one sitting, so they're not over-the-top–just good, solid cards. It's so satisfying to have a nice assortment in your card box to choose from when you need a card. Plus, masculine cards are no sweat at all when you're prepared in advance! I hope you'll come and give club a try next month. Email me to join as my guest! Lyssa@songofmyheartstampers.com

Are guy cards a challenge for you? The right stamp set makes all the difference between a chore and a joy. There are lots of guy sets to choose from the in the new catalog. Let me know if you don't have one yet and I'll set you up!
I absolutely LOVE this card! Thank you for sharing. I also love this set. The colors go together so nicely. You could even make it without the embellishments and it would still look great.
Hi Lyssa:
I love these stamp sets and your card. When I have used these, I have made them in dark colors, and this is so refreshing. So I do have a question though – what technique did you use to create the shading and exactly how did you do it. I have tried so many ways, and all seem amateurish when I complete them. So don’t hesitate to be very specific. Love your work!
Love this card 🙂
Beautiful card! Love the ink blending with these images.
