My BIL has a b/day this month, so thought I would use the boat image Perkzi, a/k/a coffeestamper, sent me.
Not much to tell on supplies as it took me over 2 weeks on and off to get this done. I have no idea how it came together, but it finally did.
I used versamark on the whole image panel and embossed with clear ep for a shiny image. I did the same on the sentiment. Used 3 small seashells, some twine I knotted and a rope border punch.
That's all for now. I'm so behind on cards and commenting, but thought I'd throw this one out there.
Thanks for taking a look!

Pamzi this is wonderful! I'm so glad to see you posting...you've been in my thoughts and prayers. I love this layout and the combination of punchez and texture that you used. Your knots are the perfect finish. Very nicely done.

Well, I for one, am glad you threw this out there. That image from Sue is wonderful along with your twine. Very masculine and a perfect BIL card. Hope things have settled down for you since your DH has returned and you guys have gotten back into the swing of married life. Hello to Brandon, too.
