For my card, I stamped the anchor twice on vanilla card stock and colored them with markers. I painted on some bleach with a small acrylic paint brush on the anchor and clouds. I used a circle die to cut one out and sliced off the bottom edge. I die cut a larger circle out of a multi color paint chip and attached the image on top. After cutting out the other image, I attached it on top of the base image with a little foam tape to elevate it slightly.
On the larger, shades of blue paint chip, I placed it back side down on the fish embossing plate and ran it through my Spellbinders Grand Calibur. With the die still in place, I used a sanding block over the raised fish on the right side.
The sentiment panel was punched on two sides and torn down the left side. I attached two eyelets and tied some twine through them. The finished card measures 4.25 x 5.5.

This is the type of card I would like to make. It’s gorgeous in it’s simple elegance though I know it was a lot of work detail.
Oh my goodness. That fish plate embosser is great! Love the sanding too. You are very very creative. The torn paper, eyelets; there just isn’t anything I don’t love about this card.
I love your card!! Love the use of the paintchip. The sanded fish background and the border punch on your sentiment are perfect for this card. Beautiful work.
Wow, love your attention to detail, Julie! The dimension on the anchor totally jumps off the screen and I love the torn edge with the twine run through the eyelets. Very nautical. Beautifully done!
