First, I dry embossed my Whisper White panel using the Argyle Embossing Folder. I then sponged it with alternating colors: Dapper Denim and Emerald Envy. I adhered it to the Dapper Denim card front.

Next, I stamped my sentiment on the Whisper White square. I accented the "X" with some thread. I then die cut it using Apothecary Accents Die. I sponged the top using Dapper Denim and the bottom of it using Emerald Envy. I then adhered this onto the Basic Black circle. I added an Emerald Envy enamel shape to the left and a Dapper Denim enamel shape to the right of it. Lastly, I added faux stitching using a white gel pen. The was all then attached to the center of the card front using dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered the other Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

First, I stamped my anchor and colored it using my markers. I then sponged it with Basic Gray and adhered it to a Marina Mist piece.

Next, I stamped, punched, and sponged my sentiment.

I then dry embossed a panel of designer series paper (DSP) using the Argyle Embossing Folder.

This panel was adhered to the Basic Gray card base.
