I used Brilliance Lightning Black ink to stamp the image onto white card and coloured it with coloursoft pencils. I then trimmed it and mounted it onto some navy blue card. I also stamped the scripture quote, which is part of the same stamp set, with the Brilliance ink and mounted it to match. I cut some light blue card to fit onto my white base card and added the two panels. I considered several forms of embellishment but ended up just stamping a corner from the Chocolate Baroque Pretty Poppies set with Adirondak Denim ink.
I am entering this in a new challenge,

ReplyDeleteSuper the way that you've used that corner stamp in blue to echo the blue of your ship. The Scripture adds a lovely touch too.

The image, the sentiment, the colors, the clean layout - it all works so well for a male card. I like the peaceful look of this wonderful nautical image.
