The challenge for the F4A today is frameworthy. We can add any type of a frame. I framed my Manatee with a porthole die cut. I added a lot of extra elements today which made me climb out of my comfort zone.
This is also for the QKR challenge, At Sea, this week. I have also entered it in the Double D gingham challenge.
I hope this makes it to its destination by mail. I had a friend who used the spanish moss on a card and hers was held up for inspection because the postal service thought it might be a controlled substance.
Thank you for taking a look at my card. Have a great weekend.

Great card! The porthole frame is really well executed. And I love all your additions -- especially the cheesecloth for netting and the moss for seaweed.

The porthole is such a fantastic idea and so well done! I absolutely love the expression on the manatee's face- too cute! Good luck with your entry- it is definitely frameworthy! ~Karen.

What a marvelous Manatee!! So clever of you to frame him with the porthole and surround it with seaweed, netting and the stars and bling! I do see the anchors on the other panel and it really makes all the nautical feel come through - Manatee on the port (or is that starboard?) side of the boat!! Way to go!

Super cute! Love the nautical theme. The porthole makes a terrific frame. Love all the accents. The blue gingham is wonderful. Great job with all the challenges. TFS
