Using the Stampartus stamp 2 rows of the Anchor from Sailing Home Stamp set in Basic Gray down the right hand side of the mat. This will fade and become like a faint watermark.
Then position the rope stamp so it sits between the anchors and stamp down the cardstock in Night of Navy.
The Stampartus will allow you to move the hinged plates down to get a nice neat row.
