The Open Sea Masculine Card

I sent this card to one of my "West Side" friends.


This is the inside view. I used some of the leftover DSP so it would coordinate with the front of the card.  Tip:  This is a great way to use scraps.  I cased the layout from Pinterest.



It is 6 1/4" x 4 1/2".   All products are from Stampin' Up!
