Thank You Card ~ Life's Storms {1st Post}

I've been having fun playing with my new 

Verve goodies and the Mojo Monday sketch today.

For my first card I used the colors red, white and kraft.

I inked up my embossing folder with red ink so 

the nautical design would be highlighted.

Next I stamped the circle rope design 

and sentiment and framed them in circles.

I added the long rope design to the back strip.

To finish up I stamped then die cut the anchor and ship wheel.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.

*Anchor, ship wheel, rope, rope circle and sentiment from the Strong Anchor stamp set from Verve Stamps.

*Anchor and ship wheel cut using the Nautical Die Set from Verve Stamps.

*Circles cut using the Nesting Circles die set from We R Memory Keepers.
*Embossed using the Cuttlebug Anchors Aweigh folder.

*Memento Lady Bug and Rich Cocoa stamp pads.

May your day always be filled with love.
