Anchors Aweigh

Hello

welcome to my little crafting place! 

It's Spellbinders Club time again!

for this card I've used June's Wax Seal of the Month and Glimmer of the Month sets

I've been wanting to get my hands on an anchor seal for a while, so I was really happy when this one arrived! Plus the 'ink' wax that comes in this set is really, really beautiful.

 After playing around with the seal stamp and making a batch of seals I decided to keep it simple and made this card, which I think has a masculine kind of feel

Here's the first batch of seals I made using this one. I made most of these using the pour and scrape method and most worked really well.  I did have a couple of mishaps but that's the way it goes.  The weird mishapen seal was a 'cobbled together' one - the anchor section came out well in my initial pour and scrape step, but the letters went very wrong.  I thought I could add just the anchor to a plain blob of wax but I was a bit 'fingers and thumbs' and it went a bit wrong.  I liked the colours though so thought I'd share it anyway!

 

I love the fishing net plate that along with a couple of sentiment strips and some pretty opal foil makes up the Glimmer of the Month kit. Perfect for lovers of the seaside and cards for fishing enthusiasts!  Oh and maybe it could be used to hint at net bags - those used for oranges maybe!

Anyway, I wanted a Navy theme so used white foil on Cosmic Sky cardstock from the colourwheel collection for the background.

 I tied a few strands of white twine down the card just in from the edge, then made the horizontal panel with strips of  

 smooth white card, made the bunting with handcut triangles of the blue and red card on a length of red twine, then adhered the seal in place.

I might add the 'Happy Birthday' foil sentiment to this one before I send it.

This is my Colourwheel swatch set
