All at sea

My third post today - this rediscovered Kanban stamp set is really inspiring me!

This time I have used the lighthouse stamp, which I stamped and coloured with Promarkers, using a mixture of blues and aquas for the sea and then going over the water area and the foam at the edge on the shore with clear wink of Stella. I die cut a "porthole" in a sheet of woodgrain effect paper, with the boards running horizontally to look like part of a boat, and used two circle dies to cut a frame for it in silver card. The "rivets" on the porthole are tiny silver holographic dots left over from a previous project.


I am sharing this with

What a fantastic card Jane. I love the woodgrain and porthole. The stamp has a great old fashioned feel to it too. The whole look of your card made me think of pirates. Barbxx

Barb, you are a genius, I have a skull and crossbones die that I will pair with this stamp another time
