Verve May 2013 Spotlight Hops: Day 3--Strong Anchor

We're on Day 3 of Verve's new release Spotlight hops! Today, we're peeking the new sets Strong Anchor, Adjusted Sails Plain Jane, and the Nautical die-set. This is a gorgeous set that I think you love for those masculine cards! I created my Dad's father's day card already, hee!!


My dad is a Godly man and I think this set is just perfect for him...I can't wait to send it off  *guess I better get started on that Mother's day card? Ha!*

This set has a few gorgeous verses, and some fun nautical images and even comes with a coodinating die set! I cut the wheel out with one of the dies and then stamped the wheel stamp in rhubarb ink. The rope border is also from Strong Anchor.


I kept the layout quite similar on the inside of the card and added a couple more sentiment stamps from the set. I really can't wait to send this to my dad, have I mentioned that yet?:) 
If the layout looks familiar, this is Deconstructed Sketch #100! It's a two week sketch, so you have another whole week to play along if you want to!

Now you'll want to check out what the rest of the Diva's have created with this amazing stamp set!
