Super challenge! I think this will float, even w/ the anchor, lol. The only c/s I used was vanilla; everything is stamped w/ the same indigo ink; my one neutral is that little section of peachy tan on the circular paint chip and the same coloring in my image; my one other color is the blues in the paint chips.
I stamped the anchor scene twice on vanilla, added just a hint of color, bleached the anchor & clouds, then die cut the base image and cut out the anchor section of the other and layered on top of the base. I cut the backing paint chip w/ a larger circle then sliced off the bottoms.
The bg is a large blue paint chip that I embossed w/ the ODBD fish embossing plate (I was happy to find it worked so well w/ my new Spellbinders Grand Calibur). I left the plate in place and sanded the top so the fish would show up better.
The sentiment has the top and right sides punched and the left side torn. I added a couple of eyelets and tied some little twine through. The finished vanilla card measures 4.25 x 5.5.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff.

Oh, I've loved every card I've seen with this new ODBD set, but this one is just fabulous!! Everything works together perfectly for the theme and it's such a showcase for this wonderful Bible verse!
