We are starting a new challenge today over at QKR Stampede and I really hope we're going to see you playing along with our "Anything Goes" theme. My SIL's birthday is right around the corner and he's acting like he's floundering in those early-50s years so I thought this image from QKR Stampede was perfect for him! It's called "Ship" and I love it, despite the apparent danger. The sentiment is also from QKR Stampede, called "Your Birthday"
For coloring, I actually printed the image onto blue-gray CS, then added highlights with white gel ink and white colored pencil. I cut the image and the black mat with pinpoint rectangle dies form Memory Box.
The gray background was embossed with a folder from Sizzix and I wrapped it with blue baker's twine. I love it alone after that since it's a masculine card and I wanted a CAS design with minimal embellishment.
Challenges:

Come play with us this week, won't you? Remember, it's "Anything Goes" all the time, no twist, no other requirements. You don't have to use a QKR Stampede image but if you do, you really increase your chances of winning some of our images because we have two drawings; one for just QKR images and one for everybody else. Come try your luck. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
