Cards in the Mail: Waterfront Birthday

I will be going back in time for a few of these. This was my Jan/Feb Cards in the Mail Swap*. 

This is a wonderful set but don't let it intimidate you. I definitely recommend looking up some samples to copy and get you started. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, it's how stamping like this is meant to be done. 

*What is Cards in the Mail? 
It is a swap where several friends send stamped cards directly to each other through the mail. We have it set up to send them once every two months (yes, we still fall behind). I make 8 cards and put them in 8 separate envelopes and mail them to 8 different people. They do the same and they may arrive anytime within the two months (in theory).
