No Worries Retirement Card With Atlantic Hearts Sketch #322

My brother-in-law is retiring soon so I was inspired to make this fun card with some retired Close to My Heart products. (No Worries Cardmaking Thin Cuts and Stamps and No Worries paper.)  The Atlantic Hearts Sketch features an interesting grid pattern which I accomplished using striped paper.

Here is the fun Atlantic Hearts sketch that inspired my card layout:
