Good morning my lovelies, the weekend has whizzed by again and Monday is here but before I dash off to work, here's a card made using one of my old favourite stamp sets, Seashell Collage from Chocolate Baroque. This month the DT are posting Summer themed projects using some of their old favourite stamps so it's well worth checking in to the Chocolate Baroque Blog when you have a minute.
I began by stamping and masking the focal image before creating the sea using a brayer that had been inked and rolled over crumpled paper. I removed the mask, coloured the images with my Graph'it markers and then inked in the sky using a mask. To create the impression of the posts through the water, just extend the colouring a little using slightly softer shades of brown.
I stamped the sentiment using archival ink and added some string and some embellishments that I d stamped and coloured. The edges were inked with Vintage Photo distress ink and I've popped the topped on a kraft card blank.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
