Go nautical...

This card is dedicated to my love for seas and oceans. I love enjoying the waves at the beach though the situation is... we don't have an ocean here in Cleveland :( My husband, just to suffice my desire to be by the sea took me to this beach of Lake Erie and to my surprise... it was amazing. Though the waves were not as strong as that of a sea but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love him for being so thoughtful and doing these little things to make me happy :) So, this card is for him :)



Anyways, let's move on to my card. I will be playing this for the following four challenges.

Curtain call is up with it's first challenge and I had to participate in it :) So to make this card, I hand drew, colored and cut the anchors (yeah! I don't have any anchor stamp plus I love to add my hand drawn image), then I used my sizzix circle dies to cut out a life saver and colored it. The sentiment and leaf are from Paper smooches Freebies which were printed and cut and colored with pencil color respectively. On the card base I stamped chevron stripes using CAS-ual Friday's Zig-zag stamp set with Memento Dew drop Dye inks. I then added eyelets on the card base to hang my anchors. Finally, stuck all the elements using foam dots and glue stick. 

Hope you like my card and thank you for stopping by :)

    Gorgeous card - love your colors - fits the nautical theme so perfectly. I though your anchors were fussy cut stamps - nice job. Thanks for joining us this week at ATS&M.
