You Are My Anchor

Hello friends!   

In case you haven't noticed, nautical is in everywhere and I decided to join in with the rest of the crafting community and play with an adorable MFT PI image called You Are My Anchor.  Isn't she cute?

I started with a top fold white card base and then added a red layer using Tombow Xtreme Adhesive (have I told you how much I love this new adhesive?) and then adding a layer of this beautiful anchor paper from the Graphic 45 By the Sea collection using a little more Xtreme Adhesive.  I stamped the sentiment in black ink onto a scrap of white cardstock and added a smaller scrap of red directly behind the sentiment.  I "fish-tailed" both ends of the red and white panels.  I adhered these to the card with a bit more Xtreme.  I stamped the sweet Pure Innocence image in black ink and colored her with the following Tombow Dual Brush pens:  #850, #946, #947, #515, #565, #N60 and #N45.  I die cut and added the image panel to a red oval panel using Xtreme and then popped it up onto the card with Foam Tabs.  I added a die cut anchor and twine for a finishing touch.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
