    For my card, I stamped the anchor twice on vanilla card stock and colored them with markers.  I painted on some bleach with a small acrylic paint brush on the anchor and clouds. I used a circle die to cut one out and sliced off the bottom edge. I die cut a larger circle out of a multi color paint chip and attached the image on top. After cutting out the other image, I attached it on top of the base image with a little foam tape to elevate it slightly.

    On the larger, shades of blue paint chip, I placed it back side down on the fish embossing plate and ran it through my Spellbinders Grand Calibur. With the die still in place, I used a sanding block over the raised fish on the right side.

    The sentiment panel was punched on two sides and torn down the left side. I attached two eyelets and tied some twine through them. The finished card measures 4.25 x 5.5.

    For my card, I stamped the Holly Tag with black ink, colored it with markers and cut it out. The sentiment was stamped with library green ink and I used markers to add the red and blue shadows/highlights. It was die cut using a Spellbinders labels 4. I used the same die to trace a sky blue frame for it and hand cut it.

    I used a scallop border die to cut the bottom of a piece of dp and a white strip and layered them together. For the white band, I embossed it with holly folder,  cut out a section and added narrow red and sky blue strips to the top and bottom edges. The punched red strip was done with a border punch. I embossed the large white holly, cut it out and sponged a little neptune ink around the edges. The ribbon was white and I colored it with a red marker. It’s all attached to a white 5.5 x 4.25 card.

    I love fall colors and this image was just made for them! On damp watercolor paper,  I floated in the various colors of dye reinkers using a fairly large paintbrush. After it dried, I stamped the image with permanent black ink.  I stamped the image a second time on a piece of card board. I cut both out, leaving a very narrow frame around the top and sides and glued them together. After sponging a little red ink on the edges of a piece of marigold card stock, I attached the cut out image to it.  I added a narrow black layer and a textured mustard one before attaching everything to a 5.5 x 4.25 white card. The sentiment was stamped on top of a scrap of the watercolored paper and cut out.

    This is also for the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast (IC255).
