For my card I decided on a stamp called Nautical Anchor Under The Sea I really enjoyed colouring this stamp and my recycle was the string around the image and reused was my circle dies, hessian and twine.

Papers from an old docrafts pad.
Stamp is Oakpond Creations Nautical Anchor Under The Sea painted with Derwent Inktense Pencils
Spellbinder Circle dies

Sentiment stamps are from a set I won recently on Bev Rochester's blog The silver anchor is from the same set I stamped and heat embossed it in silver and fussy cut then added to the hessian tag which is from docrafts.

I made the studs around the porthole with a Grey Viva Pearl Pen
I used a blue memento pad to stamp the sentiments

Carole, this is such a wonderful take on a nautical themed card. I love the design, your embellishments are beautiful, and the image is darling. The abundance of natural trims is wonderful and the way you encircled the image twice is stunning. Wonderfully done, my friend!

Just a perfect nautical card Carole! The porthole is a great way to show off the fabby image. Those embellishments are wonderful, Carole. Even though Whitby isn't far from me I don't go there much as the pavements are too narrow in places for my power chair and the cobbles, well, make me need the nearby facilities, lol. I hope your week is going well. Debra x
