Nina's sketch (#118) over at Card Patterns was too interesting to pass up! I paired up JustRite's new You Are My Anchor with Webster's Pages Yacht Club papers to make a masculine card. Both the sentiment and captain's wheel image were stamped and diecut with Spellbinders Classic Circle Nestabilities. I then stamped the captain's wheel a second time onto white card stock, colored it with Copics, trimmed it out, and popped it up for dimension. The boats are part of the Yacht Club paper design. I embellished with a couple of sailor knots, a die-cut border, distressing, and stitching. It didn't quite turn out like I had hoped, but I'm glad I gave the awesome sketch a try!
I have to show you the full You Are My Anchor set, now available at Stamper's Dream. Love this set!!
And here's the Card Patterns #118 sketch (I moved the circle element to the opposite side):

THAT's what I'm talkin' about!! Amy, I didn't know whether you could out do the other sea shore card (lighthouse w/sailor's knot)you made, but you have!!! What a fantastic design my friend. Stylish, well balanced, and simply wonderful.
P.s. I'm a Navy wife and I can't tie a knot like that! I better get busy learning how. :)
Hugs,
