By the Sea

Good Morning and a happy Monday to all of you! I hope your week is off to a great start. Ellie here today sharing a card for today's "Make a card Monday" theme. I hope you like it.

I used stamps from the Whiff of Joy Number 2 stamp kit. I hope you had a chance to pre-order this kit. I am so loving all the cute stamps that were included, and matching sentiments too!  It's too late to order the kit now, but keep your eyes open, soon the pre-order starts for the secret stamp kit Number 3. I know I am already looking forward to it! 

The image has been stamped onto xpress blending card using memento black ink, then colored using copic markers. It's been fussy cut. The beach and sea were cut out using some very old templates that I've had forever. 

To create  the half circle background I added some gesso to the light blue designer paper, and stamped one of the sentiments all over it using very light ink. Then  I layered it onto a circle doily diecut.
I did some sewing around the edges, added a matching strip of card stock, and then the anchor with some twine. The anchor was also stamped onto xpress blending card, colored with copics and cut out. It was part of this cute stamp kit. 

 And that is all from me for today, hope you liked my card as much as I enjoyed creating it. 

Until next time,
