This card uses another stamp set called The Open Sea that I hope will not retire.  It is one of the best sets to use for a masculine card.  I could be a little prejudice in this because I come from a family of sailors.  My Dad was a sailor and so is Rob, my husband.  His entire family is made up of sailors.  Even though my Dad sailed, he did not teach his three daughters to do so.  I am not sure if it was a sexist thing or it was the only way he could get away from all the women he was always surrounded by.

The background for this card was made using the World Map Background Stamp.  The ribbon is 3/4″ Chevron Ribbon in Marina Mist.

Don’t forget the Retirement List will be coming out on April 21st.  Everything on the list will be retiring as of June 1st or as supplies last.  If you want something, order it as soon as possible before it goes forever.  In addition to this, Stampin’ Up! is offering FREE SHIPPING from April 21st – 25th!  Every order (except expedited) has free shipping!
