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,

Anchor the Soul with Circles

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 523 - Scene in a Circle, today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 314 - Birds, last Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 519 - Blackberries and Pears Poolside.
I decided to create a circle window card today. I love how this turned out. If I had my dream home it would be a beachfront home. I love the ocean and could not resist this stamp set when I saw it.

I used the smaller circle as a mask to sponge some pool party ink on the inside of the card then I stamped the image in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with copics.

I punched the smaller circle in blackberry bliss then the larger scalloped punch to frame the front side of the card. I stamped the sentiments inside and out in blackberry bliss. I just love the colors from last week and had to use them again.
I think I will give this to my darling hubby who keeps me anchored with his love.
