Hello Friends & Happy Sunday to you!
I've been in the crafting cave today working on a few more cards of encouragement. I knew some of the stamps I wanted to work with, now I just needed a sketch as a starting point and I spotted this sketch over on the Mojo Monday Blog.
I actually made two cards. Even though they both follow the basic sketch design, I did take a few liberties to 'make the card my own'.
CARD #1
On this card I have used the anchor image from the Divinity Designs stamp set called 'Anchor'. My coloring was done using both Spectrum & SU pencils.
The sentiment comes from an very old JustRite Stamp set called 'Anchors Away' (I don't think this company is in business any longer.) I have used Tutti Designs Scallop Stitched Circle die cuts for the front panel and also Tutti Designs Scallop Stitched Rectangle dies for the sentiment.
CARD #2
Challenges to share in:
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Use Your Favorite Tool (Vagabond for die cutting)
Cupcake Inspiration Challenge # 499 - Nautical
The Artistic Stamper August Creative Challenge - ATG
Aud Sentiments Challenge #257 - ATG + Sentiment
Thanks so much for stopping by!
As always . . .
Beautiful and creative and loving the sentiments. xx
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful cards! So glad you could join me for Mojo Monday!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards. I especially love the coloring on the first one.
ReplyDeleteReally nice, Darlene. You're on a roll. I sure do love the image and sentiment on the first card, especially. Your coloring is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteThey are both terrific and would make good masculine cards!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card.

Absolutely gorgeous cards, Darlene! XOX
ReplyDeleteOkay, it's decided ... this stamp set is going on my wish list. The more I see of your beautiful cards using this stamp set, the more I'd like to have it in my stash :-) Another beautiful card. Thanks for the inspiration and the enabling, of course! Hugs, Lena
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Darlene, reminded me of my late father who loved the hymn "Will your anchor hold". Thank you so much for joining in the Aud Sentiments Challenge, I hope we will see you again next time.
