Less is More Cut it Out

Hello
Fabulous weather here for our visitors here in Gib...if its bad you always keep apologising!!!!!
It is Roys Birthday on Wednesday and i said to him i have no ideas for your card ....he said put my last years up!!then when i saw the Less is More Challenge i thought of a Set of Kanban Stamps i had bought from QVC and not inked any of them...and they are all gorgeous Stamps ...very reasonable 10 for about £29.00...and lots of Shaped Die cuts ...so i have used the Sailing one as Roy is a keen Boatie.....
You can see in the Second Pickie the Apperture better...
