Hello Friends, I made this card a few months ago for a stamping and DT friend whose hubby was having some health problems. I am happy to report he is home now and doing much better, thank goodness. I started off making a watercolored background, then decided I wanted to make a port hole to spy on my ship. I love the look of it! The image, rhinestones, and the circle die is from SU. The rope was really easy to make, you just have to google it. Last but not least, I cheated and made the sentiment on my computer.
I am hostess this week at Just Us Girls…I would love for you to join me! We also have a new Guest with us this month! Please come on by and help us welcome Laura Unger. We are so happy to have you with us Laura! Happy stamping, Nanc’

This card still sits proudly on hubbies desk 🙂 Even he was impressed with the porthole and sailers knot. You even got a “wow” out of him! Thank you again, Nancy xxxooo

This is amazing! I love that soft background and awesome ship. The porthole is perfect and the knotted cord finishes this off beautifully!
