Sailboats

This card came together in about 20 minutes. For me that's a record, because I can spend hours choosing papers and moving little bits and pieces around!
I've used a stamp from Stampendous, I heat embossed it with blue embossing powder and left it uncolored. The papers are from Maja Design. The large sailboat metal charm is from Storyteller, and I used twine and buttons from my stash. I haven't added a sentiment - I'd like to keep my options open for this card.

This card is for these challenges:
1) Crafty Sentiments - Buttons
2) Here Come the Boys - Must have Buttons
3) Tuesday Throwdown - #148 Sail Away (Nautical)
4) Artistic Inspirations - Cards for Men
5) Card Mania - Spots and/or Stripes
6) Incy Wincy Designs - Metal Mania
7) Kaboodle Doodles - Stripes and/or Circles
8) That Craft Place - Makes for Men (2nd entry)
9)  Make it Monday - Anything Goes

    20 minutes? Seriously? It would easily have taken me an hour or two just to figure out the layout, choose my paers and and cut my pieces which is apparently what you do too most of the time. You must have been inspired for everything to come together so quickly. Nice job. Love the nautical theme.
