Where's my ocean lovers? I'm loving the new club kits at Spellbinders this month. Most, if not all, have a nautical theme and they're so fun! For today's card, I've paired the June Stamp/Die Club Kit with the Glimmer plate from the June Glimmer of the Month Club Kit. I love when a card comes together easily and this one certainly did.

The Spellbinders Clear Stamp & Die Monthly Club Kit for June is titled, "Anchors Away". I don't have any other club kits in my possession (except the Glimmer Kit), so I tried to get really creative with minimal products.
Let me also mention, this stamp set is also available without dies, if you're interested in joining the Stamp of the Month Club.
This month's Glimmer Hot Foil Club Kit is called, "Cast Away" and includes this awesome netting Glimmer Hot foil Plate, 3 hot foil plate sentiments, 1 large sentiment outline die and 1 roll of Glimmer Hot Foil. Foil selection varies.
The foil that came with my Glimmer kit this month is called Opal. It's a translucent, shiny, iridescent foil. I'll be sharing another project soon that features that foil, but I actually used my Spellbinders White Opaque foil that I purchased some time ago, in a 2-pack with Black. I thought it would really make the netting pop.
To get started, I turned to several products in my stash, some Ranger Kraft Cardstock, as the base for my foiling, and an ombre paper pad from Scrapbookcom.
The Glimmer plate is roughly 4 1/2 x 5 3/4 inches, so I foiled a larger section of kraft paper, then trimmed my foiled cardstock down to A2 sized. My foiling was done using my Glimmer Hot Foil System, then run through my Platinum 6.
As you can see in the photo above, I tore my ombre paper at an angle, to have a wide white edge which represents the foam from the sea at the water's edge. Don't strive for perfection when tearing, irregularity is actually what you want!
I also wanted you to see the placement of my twine. I opted to use a blue/white twine from my stash, to tie in with the blue colors of my background and my stamped images. I used my hot glue gun, tacking down about 4 or 5 spots of my twine.
My sentiment was stamped with Catherine Pooler Glacier Ink and Midnight inks, using a mask technique and my stamp positioner, and my anchor was also stamped with Glacier and colored in with some of my OLO Markers.
Everything was adhered flat to my Spellbinders A2 white card, with the exception of my stamped images which were popped up on adhesive foam. I love how this turned out, and even better that it was a fairly quick card to make.
