Here's my DT card.

This image is called 'Sail Away' which you can buy and download HERE, for just $1 a bargain or what!  The papers are from a DCWV Christmas stack..... lol, well they were perfect for this card.  The corners were cut with a Mariannes die and it's finished off with card candy from Craftwork Cards.
