You're My Anchor II

Just under the wire today I decided to enter a sketch challenge at The Paper Players (PP246).

 

I previously made two masculine cards from these same papers so decided to make a third card from the scraps and found this sketch to be inspiring.

 

The card base is made with gray cardstock with a machine stitched panel of white cardstock. A panel of weathered wood DSP was adhered to the white panel. Next a panel of plaid DSP, cut on the diagonal, and a panel of watery DSP were die cut with a curved die and backed with craft foam to add depth when adhered to the card.

 

The anchor was stamped and a piece of hemp was laced through using a piercing tool. It was backed with a mat, both having been die cut, sponged and adhered with a piece of craft foam to pop it up. The sentiment was computer generated, adhered to a piece of the water DSP, curled slightly with a bone folder. then adhered with a piece of craft foam. Sticky-backed metal studs were added. The inside of the card was lined with a panel of white cardstock and a second generation of the anchor was stamped on the lower right hand corner.
