Muse #20

Hi friends.  I am playing along again with Muse challenge.  This week's Muse is the very talented Laurie Willison.  Here is her beautiful card:

 

Here is my take:



I decided to go masculine with my card but still followed the three stamped images, the sentiment placement and the bow treatment from Laurie's card.  :)  This is my first time ever making a sailors knot.  I am pretty happy with how it came out.  Thank you for the inspiration, Laurie.


Cardstock:  Riding Hood Red, Basic Gray
Ink:  Basic Gray & True black (PTI)
Stamps: Wicked Nauticool (Paper Smooches)
Accessories:  Twine, Nauticool dies (Paper Smooches)
