I have so few guy cards in my stash that I used this challenge opportunity to remedy that! The card was more challenging than I envisioned at first because I wanted the anchors to look metallic, so I had to stamp the anchors from The Open Sea using the Stazon no-smearing ink on HVAC aluminum tape that I had layered on scrap cardstock. Then fussy cut the darn anchors out by hand (grr-r-r-r, sure wish there was an anchor die!). Believe it or not the hardest part of the card was getting the sentiment to line up straight... I stamped it 4 times before I got it right!. Note the red Sharpie pen was used to color the tip of the metal compass arrow red.

This is such a fabulous masculine card, Donna! I love the addition of the arrow to your compass - it makes it look so real! And your anchors do look amazingly metallic too- so clever! Thanks for all your efforts in joining us at Just Add Ink this week :-) Jan M
