Good Luck Jon.......

This is the card that I made for Sam's brother Jonathan. He's coming to the end of a lengthy process to join the Royal Navy, and at last will be joining in June. I have to say that I went above and beyond the call of duty and tied a real life seafaring knot for an embellishment! I just Googled 'sailing knots' and came up with a step-by-step guide, but don't ask me what this particular knot is called. I used some white cord to tie the knot and then adhered it to the right hand side of the card beside an offset panel, which was embossed with a Papermania Union flag embossing folder. I cut an anchor from silver mirri and adhered it with foam pads to the centre of the flag. 'GOOD LUCK' & 'JON' were cut from navy cardstock and adhered flat.
Carts used:
Anchor- Going Places
Sentiment- Lyrical Letters
Thanks for dropping by!
