I used distress stains for the background : Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky and Squeezed Lemonade, spritzed with water on glossy card. Then stamped the image in black Stazon ink which has to be, in my opinion, the very best ink to use with these detailed stamps. I stamped some rope around the edges of a 5x5 white card and mounted the panel. An easy card to make as the image does all the work for you.
From Wikipedia :
Discovery was the smallest of three ships that were led by Captain Christopher Newport on the voyage that resulted in the founding of Jamestown in the new Colony of Virginia in 1607.
I am also entering this card in the Crafty Individuals September Challenge : Anything Goes.
Julia, I like the border you created around the focal, it certainly draws the eye into your fabulous card.

I saw a beautiful masted ship this afternoon, this captures the same feeling of freedom on the waves!

very nautical card and stazon is indeed the best ink, I love the smell.
ReplyDeleteWhen the stamps look this good they don't need much to create a beautiful card, a bit of CAS is great and quick to make.
ReplyDeleteOh this is lovely, thank you for joining in The Craft Barn Challenge.
