Its a man thing at Vintage Stamping Challenges

Good morning my lovelies, I seem to have blinked and missed the weekend as Monday morning  has sneaked up on me and I'm rushing off to work again. Before I go though, here's my project for our new challenge at Flonzcraft Vintage Stamping Challenges where our theme is 'Its a man thing'


I've used a shaped card from Craftwork cards, I just love these cards. The background was made with distress inks in Tumbled Glass, Broken China, and Tea Due with a wee bit of frayed burlap/ I stamped the boat (from Flonzcraft can you believe you get all these gorgeous stamps for less than £7?? You can find them here)

I stamped the main image on a scrap of card that I'd used to mop up the last of my background inks and then made a frame by die cutting some grey board and sticking some card candi to it and then I set to with lots of Maimeri acrylic paints and then WOW embossing powders to create a rusty porthole and layered it up over a scrap of cheesecloth that I'd dyed with more distress ink


To finish off I added some little shells, some string tied in a nautical knot and a tiny anchor charm.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Artistic Stamper: use distress
Crafting Musketeers: grunge
Dream Valley: no designer paper
Eclectic Ellapu: texture

Well i'm off to work now so have  great day and thanks for popping by
