June, 2014 - Sailing Birthday Card

My sister's birthday is in July so I want to create something different to send her as a card.  I needed a theme, and once again I turned to Google.  Karen and her husband recently became sailing captains and they just completed their second lone sailing vacation to the Virgin Islands (their video).  I keyed in VINTAGE SAILING and found my inspirational photograph that will become the central theme.  This was going to be a more traditional size card, and I wanted to cover all four sides.

I found a perfect sterling sailboat pin on eBay, and attached it to the cover.  She wears it, and I love the idea of using the card to deliver a small gift or surprise.
