You Are My Anchor
Hello crafters! I started this one with another background from my pixied stash. I just love how they look like water for these cards! I used Teal Marine and Golden Mint Pixie Powders on it. Next I cut the You Are My Anchor Frame in tan, gray, blue, pink, black and rust card. I used the tan card as the base and shadowed it with the black die cut. I cut out the individual elements out of the different colours and added them to the tan die cut. I added the frame on to a white shadow backing and attached it to the left side of the card. I used the inner rope oval for the sentiment and added the You Are My Anchor in black inside of it. On the right side of the card I added the scuba diver, some bubbles and the aquatic plants in an array of seaweed sort of colours. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 9 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue, I think this new collection will be fun for those that have an enjoyment in snorkeling diving or anything to do with the ocean. Stay safe and well xxx
Morning Sue, I think these new dies are fantastic for male cards, not all men are into sport or beer drinkers, so this collection is just right for the hard to make for men. Love Jean xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what I like about your dies are the attention to detail, on this sample it looks like the flowers and twigs etc are moving in the water, yes I know it is an illusion but I can just see them going from one side to another. The frame is gorgeous as it the wonderful sea backing colours you have created, absolutely gorgeous all of it.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue, I liked this card when I saw it previously but it is even better when you can see the intricate detail in your close ups. Who wouldn't like to receive a lovely card like this?. Crafty Hugs, Pauline x
Good morning Sue, A beautiful card & I agree that the background definitely looks like the sea. I would put this in a box frame to display it on the wall. Yvonne xx
Good Morning Sue. Yes, another lovely under the sea card. I always love your backgrounds Sue. They never fail to amaze me. I have got the idea now ... after all this time ... lol ... With the pixies ... And I am satisfied with my results ... But they never seen to look like yours. One day, one day. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. PLEASE STAY SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏 Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Hi Sue, although not my personal choice I appreciate the crafting of this card and your pixie background makes a great ocean. Love the aquatic grasses and the little bubbles :-)
Hi Sue. I would have to agree with you that the pixie backgrounds are great for underwater scenes. Love the way you have placed the diver onto the background and placed the main panel to the side.
A lovely card today. The pixie powders used to create the background are perfect for underwater scenes, indeed. I agree with Jean Phillips 1, these new dies are a fantastic option in addition to sports and beer for men's cards.
Hugs from Toronto to you all. Stay safe and healthy. Carmen-Dorothy
