What a wonderfully designed masculine card, Faith, love the colour combination and the texture with the braided twine. The steering wheels look fabulous with the blue striped panel, love this! Sailing has been a huge part of John’s life and he & I sailed his catamaran a lot in the early years of our relationship - and he never tipped me in!! Thank you for making a card for him~

That braid is just super and the color makes me think of all the ropes for rigging etc. on any boat. I like that you added the same image to your envelope.

You combined some fabulous stamps here to create this gem. I love both the boat wheel and that sketch sailboat. The strips of blue add a sense of speed and racing through the surf to the scene. All beautiful and would have made a nice card, but that twine definitely elevates this to a great card. Fab job, Faith.

I absolutely love that braided twine, and the way you incorporated it into this design is perfect, and the blue and white waves with sailboat and birds look fab next to it. Great card!!
