Anchor of the Soul in the Bay

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 561 - A Slate Cabana on the Bay.  or dessert I used my white jel pen to accent some faux waves. I am NOT thrilled with this but it is what it is. My layout is from Monday's MOJO MONDAY SKETCH CHALLENGE # 428. I used a punched scalloped oval as a mask and sponged some smoky slate ink for a stormy sky illusions, I used a straight line to sponge Bermuda bay and then coastal cabana on the bottom for a lighter tone. 

I stamped the sentiments in Bermuda bay.

A Surprise Popped Up Anchor

This is for today's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 543 - Poppin Up All Over. I went with a SURPRISE POP UP CARD and just to make sure I had the pop up covered I popped my fussy cut anchor up on dimensionals. This is also for Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 542 - Elegant and delightful Cajun meadows and Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 545 - Fussy Cutting. I have not made a surprise pop up card in such a long time I had to go with that, needing something quick and easy peasy. After I realized I wanted a sentiment on the pull out part I wished I had used delightful Dijon for that panel :( oh well, hope you can see that sentiment because it is soo true. I hope whomever I give this too truly is inspired by the words and not the work of this stamper who loves her Lord and this hobby dearly.
RECIPE:
Stamps: ODB - Anchor 
Paper: white, elegant eggplant, delightful dijon, ? dp, 
Ink: momento tuxedo black, Elegant Eggplant

Jessie - My Anchor, My Love

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 527, Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 517 - A Cabana in Old Bermuda and Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 520 - Embossing Folder Stamping. Such a fun technique, lovely color combo and the sketch just worked perfect for me today.
I used a new embossing folder ,Anchor, from the Paper Studio to ink the negative side by daubers on the ink pads of all three colors. The 2 blues are so close in color it was hard to see where one stopped and the other started, :( of well. I stamped the sentiment in momento tuxedo black in the open top left corner. The white anchor cut from a die is popped up on dimensionals. I think this will be for my dear hubby who is my anchor. He keeps me grounded and I love him so much. LOL.
