FTL 139, CCMC 150 and CAS -ual Friday's

Hello there! I created this card for three challenge sites, Create with Connie and Mary (a NEW challenge site for me, so excited I found it!) in which the challenge was to use the colors Poppy Parade, Sahara Sand, and Not Quite Navy, and also for the Clean and Simple site, in which the challenge was the sketch and also to mix and match in the font of the sentiment. (Which, I must admit was super easy with the new Happy Greetings Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!'s Summer Mini! The fonts in all of those stamps are already mixed and matched!) I am also entering this in the CAS-ual Friday's site, which wants twine and buttons to be highlighted. I love this card, and can see it being recreated for fathers day, birthdays, sympathy cards, basically anything manly. And...I have to tell you that I won Sail Away Stamp at my last Artful Inkers Team Meeting, thanks Donna! ;o)

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Not Quite Navy CS and Classic Ink, Sahara Sand CS and Classic Ink, Poppy Parade Classic Ink, Aqua Painter, Staz On Black Ink, Bakers Twine in Early Espresso, Button from the Regals Collection, Happy Greetings Stamp Set, Sail Away Stamp Set, and a clear block to give the Sahara Sand Background look.
