Sailing Home Bundle in Mossy Meadow

A nice card showing the Sailing Home Bundle in Mossy Meadow.  Most of the cards I have been making with this set are in the blue and white family.  Love the masculine feel of the Sailing Home stamp set.  The coordinating Smooth Sailing Dies make it easy to cut out the lighthouse and other elements from the stamp set.
