Thank you card

Hello my friends!

Today i have a "Thank You" card!

I received a very nice birthday surprise from

one of my boating friends, so I wanted

to make a thank you card for them.

I used my Explore and design space,

I am starting to really like using it. 
I didn't like it at first, but after i got

a new iPad and started playing around with it

I have finally gotten the hang of it.

I have really been wanting to cut out words with it,

since I have seen lots of crafty bloggers using dies

and i just didn't want to buy dies when

i have several cutting machines that i should

be able to use to cut the words out.

So here is what i came up with!

Entered at:

I cut the banners and "thank you" using design space.

The anchor was cut with a Momenta cut and emboss die.

I heat embossed the "thank you" with Stampin' Up embossing powder and added some sequins.
 I faux stitched the banners with a white jelly roll pen and blue pigma micron pen.

The designer paper is from Carta Bella "Ahoy There" 6x6 paper pad.
