ColourQ #196 and Paper Smooches


I
Look how beautiful this patriotic angle is … just beautiful!







I have to hurry to get this one in on time for the colourQ challenge   My mustard color is the pearl,  I colored it with my copic marker. 

Most of you may already know … the  Anchor  is the symbol for hope! So this card is basically saying “ Have Hope and Faith” 
I am also entering this in the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge
I did some kind of loop braid with the twine, maybe its called a chain loop. Sorry I don't know the name of it!
What on earth did I do without my stitched squares from Lil Inkers!
Take Care!

  4. This is fabulous. I just love the anchor and the knotted rope. I don't know what I did without those Lil Inkers stitched shapes either. I seem to use them on every card.

    Very meaningful too your card, always comes in handy when you want to lift someone's spirit!
    And your stitched edges make such a difference, ha, ha. Love those too!
