Just Because






Happy Monday!   I am fashionably late with my Crazy 4 Challenges card this week.  We had family in from out of town for a few days.  Fun times, but no crafty moments were to be had.  Anyway, better late than never!   Check out the C4C blog for more challenge details at Crazy 4 Challenges(C4C195).  



It is sketch week!







For my card I am using Verve's Strong Anchor  and Circular Sayings stamp set.  I combined this set with some Verve's Cut Above Nautical die set.  I used a blue background.  Used circle dies and white embossed the rope border from Strong Anchor stamp set.  I die cut my nautical dies and stamped the image with harvest gold to keep with the Curtain Call inspiration piece.  I am playing along with the Curtain Calls Feeling Nautical Challenge.  I love the simple, yet bold look of this card.




Check out what the rest of the team did with this week's challenge!




As always thanks so much for stopping by!
