To make the background I stamped the shells on white card in Versamark ink and embossed them with clear powder, then sponged blue ink all over and buffed the stamped areas. Then I stamped the anchors over the top in black memento ink.
I used the same ink to stamp the topper then lightly coloured it with pencils to give that "hand tinted photo" effect that was so popular in the early 20th century.
I am sharing this with

Beautiful card, Jane! Love that you made your own "patterned paper" looking cardstock with stamps! The main image is from Retro Beach and I think your colouring is perfect for that hand tinted photo look. Thank you so much for using my stamps and joining our Forever Challenge at Rubber Dance! ♥
