Made this for the twisted sister challenge today. We were challenged to make a card in blue and brown with a circle, but could not be a full circle and to use atleast 2 squares. I struggled with it a little this morning, but it finally came together. I used the moracco lace punch as it reminds me of sea shells. I did some piercing on it for the Our Daily Bread challenge.
We would love to have you join us in the challenge. The key words for this challenge is TSC0422.

Shirt, this is outstanding! I think the perfect sentiment inside could be you're my anchor in life's storms or something like that. You rock GF!!!!

Well, Sis, considering you said you "struggled" with this, I am sure wondering WHERE!!! I truly love this anchor image and the soft colors you used on this card. All those wonderful layers to boost the image - which is fabulous in and of itself - certainly did lend to its quiet beauty! I did not miss the embossed strip down the side and the way you displayed the 3 stars highlighted by that border really made this card stand out!! Awesome, Shirt! LYMI!
