I started with The Open Sea stamp set by Stampin' Up. I enjoy using stamps to create texture on the cardstock. This adds more interest to the overall design of the card. For the Basic Gray panel, I stamped a combination of the globe and compass with matching ink. The small element was created using a stamp from the By the Tide set embossed in Silver embossing powder. The sentiment is from Regarding Dahlias.
