I stamped the image with Ranger archival ink in the color 'coffee.' I used my Misti to stamp the image, as I wanted to be able to stamp it over again until the image was the depth I wanted it to be.
I used a gold Krylon pen to add the gilded edge around the image and around my hand-written father's day verse. I dyed some baker's string by running it through a blue distress pad, and tied on an anchor charm from my stash.
That's it! Easy-peasy.
Oh, and the baker's string, well, every once in a while I must make the sacrifice to go to our town bakery for their delish cake squares - JUST to get the string that they generously tie around the little boxes. Really...that's the only reason I buy them! Hey...we gotta get our craft supplies somewhere, right?

Great card, Lynda. I love how the image looks "old."
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome masculine card. My dad would love it! He’s a commercial fisherman. Thanks for joining us last week for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
