Welcome
I do hope you have all enjoyed your Christmas, no matter how you celebrated.
We had a wonderful day filled with family.
Yes, I have been making the most of the True North set of stamps - again.
I started with a piece of corrugated card, covered it with gesso, then smoothed some gelatos over the top of the ridges before spraying it with water mixed with some Lindy's Magicals (pigment powders) in Whale Watch Blue.
The ship was stamped on the snippet of white card. After painting it with Twinkling H2O's, I die cut and sponged it with Distress inks.
I stamped and silver embossed the lighthouse and sentiment on blue card, and sponged the edges with Memento Platinum ink.
I assembled all the elements onto a white base of which the edges had been sponged with blue ink.
I finished the inside by randomly stamping the compass from the set in blue, and adding a birthday sentiment - unfortunately I did not photograph it.
I am linking this to:
(in the 'sea' and sails on the boat and sponging on the edge of the blue card)
