I still have my program open and am continuing to play with this fun download. I can't wait for the set to arrive either. I didn't order the decorative papers but I did purchase the download so I can print out the papers as I need them, just like I did for this card!

Ok, lets talk about my card and this weeks Sketch Challenge. As you can see by the sketch that I turned it to accommodate the ship. And once again I printed the ship out to fit the size of the card. When I do this I set my printer to a fast or draft print so it uses very little ink. That way I can print out a few copies until I get it the size I need. It only took me 2 tries to get it right and I printed and adjusted the anchor at the same time.
My background papers are from the "Nautical expedition" download too. It's a great way to get the papers and never have to worry about running out. And as I have said before, print the final copy out on at least 28# paper. I usually use the 28# but prefer 30#. It has the feel of the decorative papers. But I only print on one side. You could print on the other side with the heaver paper, that is what it's designed for.
I did cut out the anchor by hand. I know, I do need to get a life!! LOL I had to use an x-acto blade to cut out between the anchor and rope and at the top of the anchor. I didn't want to leave it white and as I look at it I'm glad I did take the time to cut it out like that. I am not too sure I like the color of it but I wasn't about to cut out another one!! I can assure you I won't be making this card for any swaps. Not with an anchor on them anyway!!
Another fun sketch and another masculine card to add to my stash! I just don't seem to have enough of them.
Thank you SO much for visiting today,
Wanda
