                                                This was a little intricate to make.  I used wood designer paper and edged it with Walnut Stain distress ink after I cut up the pieces of paper.  When I glued the pieces in place I left spacing so you would see the dark cardstock which was made to resemble wood.  I added some dots to replicate nails.   
 
As my image was too big for a round port hole I used Labels 4, my go to die set from Spellbinders.  I added shiny brads to make it look like a port hole. 
 
I stamped the mermaid onto a wax paper resist and you can see the tutorial here http://www.sunflowers-dragonflies.ca/blog/45422/how-to-create-wax-paper-resist/ 
 
DH helped out with this card.  He was the holder of the twine while I braided it to make my twine thicker.  Next, I added banners.
