Quick Quotes Anchors Aweigh Card with LeeAnn

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. I'm not so sure about where you are, but here in Florida, the weather has become absolutely perfect for outdoor fun. Pretty good timing as well as hopefully by the end of next week my husband's boat will be ready to go in the water. With this in mind, I thought a card for him when it is ready to go would be in order.

 I had fun with this one as I have not made this card type in quite a long while. I used to experiment every week by trying a new card fold. In an attempt to get back to that practice, I made my one that my husband loves, a Waterfall Card.

Directions to make the card will follow the photos.

For those who have not seen a Waterfall Card in action, I did a short video of it in use.
