A Is For Anchor

Hello!

Today's card was made for the Challenges at Simon Says Monday, A Is For..... and the Challenge at Dies R Us, One For The Boys.

 
I was inspired while perusing Pinterest!  The stamp set is from Neat And Tangled, Hope Anchors.  I masked off the anchor portion of the stamp and embossed it in white.  Then using a small Sizzix anchor die I made my own chipboard anchor. I glued 4 die cut layers together and then covered the entire thing in glitter.  The red stripes were made with a Teresa Collins Stencil.  2 large white eyelets at the top to run my white 'rope' through and a small navy ribbon to separate the blue card stock and the red stripes.  I also cut an anchor out of the liner on the inside of the card.  Adhesive pearl inside the top of the anchor....to anchor it lol
 



I absolutely love this sentiment!

Thanks so much for stopping by, I appreciate you doing so!

Enjoy~~
