May Arts/OCL Special Delivery!


I asked my husband what he thought of this card and he said something about a lighthouse?  Ummm...don't you see parcels, boxes, airmail letters?  LOL!  Makes me think of all those love letters I wrote and mailed to him while he was deployed back in the days before email...when it took about a month for them to get to the ship!

Here I'm using May Arts twisted burlap, which comes in several thicknesses and styles!  It's paired with a sentiment from my friend Kendra's new OCL set, Everyday Sentiments.

If you haven't already, check out the OCL blog and the info on prizes!  Here's more inspiration!

    Wow I don't know what the best part of this card is! Everything about it looks like a special delivery. Too cute! LOL leave it to a guy to see something completely unrelated...

    Not sure what card your hubby was looking at. . . Lol! I love the use of the May Arts twisted burlap with the stripes and the airmail "feel" of this card. It is lovely in its simplicity. Thanks for the inspiration!
