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.

Karen this is wonderful. I love the background, it looks like a page from an old shipping manifest. The layout is terrific and what can I say about your fussy cut anchor except WOW, WOW, WOW. Love it all my friend.

Karen, this is such a great masculine card. This is one of my favorite stamp sets for a masculine creation. Love the dp you used, and you are right, your punched border looks like waves. TFS.
