Ebb Tide

Hi everybody.  This is the card I made for hubby's birthday which was nearly a couple of weeks ago...I have been extremely slow in catching up with posting the cards I've made as I got behind during the hot weather..fortunately a bit cooler now.  It's a stamp from a set by Sheena Douglass which is another from her A Little Bit Sketchy range called Just Chilling, from quite a long time back.  I decided to give my post a different title which more suited it I think.  My hubby said when he saw it that it was'an old wreck for an old wreck', which was not my intention when I made it, but it made me laugh.   I also used a Torn Square Die from a set from Creative Craft Products over at Craft Stash, unfortunately not available now.


I used Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink to stamp the image, and then my Distress Inks with a waterbrush to add the colour and finished with the birds stamped with the Nocturne Ink, which are part of the same set, and then added the sentiment using the Nocturne Ink heat set with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder.  I finished by adding this onto a navy blue piece of card and then die cut a larger mat in a lighter blue using the Torn Edge Square Die set and added this onto a 6" square card.

Thank you for joining me here today and I'll see you again soon.
