Challenge #40
Marine, Ocean or Sea
To make the card I created a DL size card out of black card. To this I added a layer of water themed vellum ready for the image and sentiment to be added. The image was coloured with Polychromes and mounted on black then orange backing paper. To finish off the image I added a border of gold peel off stickers. The text was stamped onto the vellum and embossed with fine silver embossing powder. I then used the compass direction stamp from Creative Stampers magazine and again heat embossed with silver embossing powder. 2 small orange gems to hide the glue dots for attaching the vellum on the right side of the card completed the project.
Marine, Ocean or Sea
This fortnights challenge theme has been chosen by DT sister Sue. What a great theme and thanks to IKEsART for this fabulous image which is so perfect for where I live - on the Northumbria coast where we regularly see fishing boats. I just know this card will find the perfect recipient.
