RunningwScissorsStamper: Control Freaks Catalog Preorder Swap & More

Hi Everyone, Today I am sharing my mail-in swap sample for the Control Freaks group. Always lots of stress with this one, because they are so awesome. I hope my card was up-to-par.

Let me tell you where I was going with this card. I was thinking about a lobster bake party, a strip for a napkin ring, and the little anchor image on the center of the strip.

To translate this to a card, I kept my card mostly clean and white. I had to add some stripe paper and embossing to embellish. The only thing I am sad about is I didn't have a You're Invited stamp image in my stash.
