Hope Anchors The Soul

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper is Donna Idlet aka didlet...congrats, Donna!!!  I chose this awesome masculine card to case.  I have used the following items from Our Daily Bread designs in the making of my card:  You Anchor Me Stamp/Die Duos, Rope Background, ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies, ODBD Custom Pierced Circles Dies, Nautical Paper Collection, and the ODBD Custom 'Faith, Hope, and Love' Dies.  The anchor was cut out , stenciled with navy, then adhered over the circle which was stamped off then stamped with the Rope Background in kraft ink. Some red hemp twine was added to balance the red elements in the card.  

Here is a view of the inside, with the continued message.  Since the 'Hope' word die was used on the front, the word 'Hope' from the stamp was masked so that only the 2nd and 3rd line would appear.  The tiny anchor at the bottom is from the 'Anchor the Soul' set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,
