Ombre Style Card and See Ya Later Card for Monthly Stamp Classes

I saw this funny quote on Pinterest and thought this was very fitting for my monthly stamp classes:

There's no question with my stamping ladies each month!  We are ready to stamp!  And each month, we have new stampers come visit and enjoy a fun night out of crafting!  Ready to get in on the fun?  View my online calendar for upcoming days and times.  Each month we create 2 fun cards (and sometimes a bonus project) for $5 or free with your order of $20 or more.

If you live in the Dallas / Fort Worth area and would like to attend, RSVP through my online calendar.  I'd love for you to join us in February to create these 2 cards:

Ombre Style Card: 
With this first card, I was trying to go for a masculine look with the different shades of blue.  The nice thing about the image is that it can easily be changed out.  I was also thinking of using the stamp set called The Open Sea and using a sailboat instead of the bird.  What do you think?
