As Hull once had a Whaling fleet and was a big fishing port and I love lighthouses(even though we don't have one lol)I went with the Maritime theme.The fabulous B.paper is from CraftOClock, the stamps and sentiment are a set bought off a FB declutter page,which I stamped and clear embossed.


 

I received a beautiful card came from Julia in the U.S.A.
