Sailing

This week's challenge on Less is More is to make a one layer card on the theme of "At Sea".  As I live on an island, I love anything to do with the sea and have lots of nautical stamps.  I particularly like the Hobby Art ones which you can use to create scenes.  I used smooth watercolour card and distress inks and markers to create my card. I stamped the rope border first which I masked with Frisket film before stamping and colouring the scene.

 
 
I am also entering this card into the following challenges:-
 
Shopping our Stash #252 - Sounds of the Sea
Just Add Ink#311 - masking

 
Materials used:-
Rope border - Clarity Stamps
Hobby Art "Coastal Wildlife" set
Inkylicious grass stamp from "Essential Grasses"
Sentiment - Stampin Up "Sheltering Tree" set
Inks - distress inks and markers; Archival Wendy Vecchi potting soil
Watercolour card - Daler Rowney (smooth)
Frisket film for masking the rope border
 
Thanks for visiting my blog - now pop over to Less is More and see how the other participants interpreted this theme.  Margaret
