I used the Stampin' Up Summer Mini sets The Open Sea and Sail Away with the Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, and Very Vanilla. I stamped the manisfest on the card base in matching ink, stamped compass on olive in chocolate and then embossed with Lattice Squares folder. Jumbo eyelets on sides and panel stitched with Espresso baker's twine. Rounded top edges.
