Anchor Thinking of You

Hi, everyone!  I mentioned the other day that my Mom had requested some thinking-of-you cards to have on hand when needed, and here's another one.  She liked the nautical theme for a man.


The anchor image is part of the Smooth Seas set from Beccy's Place.  I used the pre-coloured version, fussy-cut, and adhered it to cream vellum.  The nautical paper was a scrap, not sure of the maker.  I stamped a sentiment, fussy-cut, and adhered with foam tape.  Lastly I adhered black gems at the four corners of the vellum.  It's a great way to hide the glue! 

I would like to join the following challenges:
Beccy's Place September AG with Beccy's image UE
Crafts Galore Encore September AG 2/3
Crafty Calendar September AG 2/3
The Paper Funday AG with Thinking of You 2/6
Word Art Wednesday 559-560 AG w Uplifting Sentiment wk2 2/5

Thank you for looking at my card!  Wishing you a peaceful day!

Beautifully done, Kitty. Love the cream vellum to make your anchor stand out. I agree, gems are a wonderful way to hide the glue spots :-)
Hugs,

You created a very beautiful design for this masculine card, Kitty! It's wonderful that your Mum appreciate your cards and always asks them for her stash!
Love the anchor on the vellum and the beautiful paper!! And the gems on the corners are really a great way to hide the glue under the vellum!
I hope it finally rained in your area!
Sending a lot of hugs and positive thoughts on your way, dear friend!! Have a lovely Sunday!

Love the paper Kitty, it's absolutely perfect for the image and gives the background a lot of interest. Great idea to mount the image onto the vellum so you can still see the pattern beneath. Love it!
Cheers,
Beccy
