I loved having my Dad visit for the long holiday weekend … we fixed things (my craft knife & my door), cut down things (dead tree limbs & bushes), and installed things (light fixture, new ink storage unit, and mini-blinds). We also made time for fun with a day visiting the family farm (Dad loves driving the tractors), the farmer's market, and a stop at Duffy's, which was filled with classic muscle cars (there's one peeking through behind us).
Tonight I had some fun with this week's Inspired by Challenge … love this fun nautical button necklace.

I started by stamping some Anchors on golden yellow designer paper. Next I added some golden brads and then stamped some gold sequins. I added tiny pearls to the center of the sequins for a touch of white.

I used this week's CAS(E) this Sketch (love the challenge of doing CAS with those scattered elements) and finished with a Studio Calico sentiment and some navy cardstock.


Great card! I love all of the anchors! Thanks for playing at Inspired By.
Super card. I love all the triangles, and those sweet anchors.
oooooh! this is nautical but nice, for sure! 😉 soooo lovin’ the sequin stamp (avec pearly augmentation!) and the fleetwood mac sentiment!
but also… what an amazingly fab father/daughter portrait! ♥♥♥
Sweet card! Love these colors! That dp is sweet, and those little anchors are the cutest little things! This is a great card, love it. So nice that your dad came for a visit!
LOVE your card! Like your “translation” of the inspiration necklace. So glad you had a great time with your Dad. I think that family is our true treasure on earth. 😀
Fun, nautical theme–love the inspiration from your necklace! And you look so much like your Dad!
