You Anchor Me ⚓


Here is a grungy/distressed card I have made.  The image I have used is by Ching-Chou Kuik and called "Bon Voyage My Love".  I have coloured my image in with Promarkers and highlighted areas with a white gel pen.

The backing papers are from my Joy! Crafts Under the Sea Paper pad.  Two of the papers I have just ripped around the edges for a more distressed feel.  On one of the backing papers I used Tim Holtz's Squeezed Lemonade distress ink through a mylar stencil I made with some die-cut shells out of it and went around the edge for some faded out shell shapes.

For embellishments I have used a netting die from Crafter's Companion and various stamped out shells/rocks and compass from Sentimentally Yours, a stamped sentiment and some pearls.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

This would be lovely for someone who likes sailing or cruises. I like your added embellishments especially the 'netting'.
