Please check out the blog for details and also to see the wonderful samples by our Design Team.
I've used a base of Crumb Cake cardstock for this card. It was a perfect match for some of the colours in that gorgeous, salt-water distressed wood of the designer paper I used. The Pacific Point cardstock matte also echoes the colours therein.
I thought the designer paper would be the perfect background for the wonderful anchor in the Stampin' Up! Sailing Home bundle. Instead of heat embossing the anchor with a metallic embossing powder, I chose to stamp the anchor in black onto a piece of Galvanized Metallic paper. The dull sheen really accents the anchor and gives it a sense of dimension.
The sentiment is from the same bundle and was stamped in black ink onto a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock, fussy cut into shape and then attached to a piece of Pacific Point cardstock, cut into shape around it as well. I had a heavy cord in the same Crumb Cake colour and so took two pieces and formed a loose square knot, securing the knot and lines along the card with Art Glitter glue. I took the last of the four lines and had it lace through the hole in the anchor.
I hope you enjoy my card as much as I enjoyed making it. Have fun with our challenge.
