You Are my Anchor

The current challenge at Waltzingmouse Fanatics is to use fabric on your project. I have some sticky backed canvas pieces in my stash that were perfect for a nautical take on the challenge.

I stamped the anchor and rope images from the Waltzingmouse Stamps Ocean Bound set on the canvas panel, then added the “you are my anchor” sentiment beneath them. The images were all stamped in Memento Luxe inks. They worked beautifully on the canvas surface. To get an aged look, I inked around the edges of the canvas piece with some Tea Dye distress ink.

The panel is layered over a navy fishtail flag strip adhered to a piece of kraft cardstock stamped with the large background stamp from the Woodgrain set. The top of the fishtail flag piece was wrapped with twine. I tied a red button onto the twine for one final bold pop of color.
