Today Mary gave us 5 colors for the color challenge. We were to use any 3 &/or use all 5. I chose to use 3 - Pacific Point, Smokey Slate & Soft Sky. I did add a piece of dsp since that was my new year's crafting resolution! I punched the border using half the punch. I didn't want to take too much off the dsp panel. I think it still looks like waves. I cut out the anchor & used twine for the rope that I cut off. I rubbed the twine in Crumb Cake to give it a more rope look... I think... I have the tinest of pop dots under the anchor. Placing them was almost worse than the fussy cutting!!
And just what I need - dessert!!
Thanks for stopping by.

I love the way that you've layered your stamped elements, Bugzi...what a great vintage look! Nice DP choice and I love the look of your anchor/twine combination (fantastic fussy cutting!!). Wonderful manly card, my friend - stay warm!!

Terrific masculine card, Karen. Love your nautical images, DP, and the way you did the anchor. I can imagine the care it took to get the foam dots on the anchor in those slim spots. : )
