Summer Mini - The Open Sea

If you are after a masculine stamp set, The Open Sea in the Summer Mini is a beauty.  I have been having a play with it over the past few days.  I saw a design similar to this over at Splitcoast.  I love simple and clean designs, especially for male cards.

The sample I saw used a different background embossing folder but I liked the effect of the stripes - sort of like wooden planks.  I have used mini brads around the port hole frame - just the right size.

There is a co-ordinating DSP for this set also.  I'll show you a card using the DSP in my next post!
