I created this for today's Inspiration Challenge... we were to take our inspiration from this great wedding planning site called The Perfect Palette. I would usually choose one of the elegant florals for my inspiration, because that's just me. LOL! However today I stepped outside my usual style and created a boy's card using the very first Nautical wedding, and specifically the cake as my inspiration, found HERE
I used ODBD Patriotic Pennants, Little Boys and Anchor for my stamps and the ODBD Custom Pennant Die set to cut my pennants. I used 2 different Spellbinders grommet tags for my sentiment and I used Su! markers to try to color the anchor like the one on the cake. I added bakers twine and brads to finish off.

I so wanted to case that one but didn't have any time to figure out what to do - but you totally captured the theme and the whole feel of those pictures! Wow! Love the banner, anchor and the clouds and the way you did the sentiment is perfect. Lovely work!!!! Hugz!

Oh, Grace, this is crisp and wonderfully made! And I love the blue and yellow, but the anchor really sets it off in your fussy cutting and how you've colored it to match! What a fabulous masculine card that is out of your norm but totally a delight! And what a sweet CASE of Karen's wonderful card! She is a sweetie and so talented and Queen of CAS IMHO! Hugs, sweet friend!
