Today I’m sharing a card that I made for the Retro Sketches #51 Challenge using the By the Tide stamp set.  Here is the sketch:

And here is my card:

Here is the list of products that you will need to create this card:

• By the Tide Stamp Set (129117 wood, 129120 clear)
• Feeling Sentimental Stamp Set (Sale-a-bration item 129627 wood, 129630 clear)
• 3/4″ Circle Punch (119873)
• Designer Builder Brads (129329)
• Parker’s Pattern Designer Series Paper (131021)

I started with a Cajun Craze card base cut to 5-1/4″ x 10-1/2″ and scored at 5-1/4″.  I cut a panel of Parker’s Pattern DSP to 5″ x 5″ and adhered it to the card front with SNAIL.  Then I cut a panel of Very Vanilla card stock to 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ and I stamped the images from the By the Tide stamp set in Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight and Marina Mist ink.  I also stamped the sentiment from the Feeling Sentimental stamp set on the panel in Not Quite Navy ink and I adhered it to a panel of Not Quite Navy card stock with SNAIL.  Then I stamped the circle images on Marina Mist card stock in Not Quite Navy ink, punched them out with the 3/4″ Circle Punch and adhered them to the Designer Builder Brads with Glue Dots.  To finish the card, I used my Paper-Piercing Tool and Stampin’ Pierce Mat to punch three holes on the left side of the panel and placed the decorated brads through them.  Then I adhered the panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
