Strong and COURAGEOUS

I had to play in the inaugural Curtain Call challenge...used to play in the original and Stacey has revitalized the challenge...and Verve is the kickoff sponsor soo....

It's everything nautical...

 
Used Verve's Strong Anchor and papers from Fancy Pants- Down by the Shore to create my card. The sentiment was stamped on Verve's Curvy Bookplate die and layered onto a nestie which was layered onto a Lil Inkers stitched circle die. Added a wheel and anchor using Verve's Nautical die set and the matching images from Strong Anchor. Sketch is Jen's from week 3 of the Verve's sketches on SCS.
 



Okay, okay.... I added a little red, but, it IS my favorite color and it IS a traditional nautical color!!

 
Also, linking up to the Simon Says Stamp challenge.... By the Sea. (used Fancy Pants Down by the Shore)

Thanks for stopping by!! Love when you do and appreciate all the kind words!!
