AHOY..

Hello everyone..   

Two more projects to share today and showing how I did my other portholes which was a lot more fun..



                                           

I cut a few circles and then scored them, well, the one that was going to be on top of the circle frame I scored, saves a lot of time..




Then inked them up with Vintage photo distress ink [ my new favorite ink]




Then punched these gold dots and glued them altogether and stuck them on around the porthole..




                                       I think they look great and I really enjoyed making them..



My first card with red papers and sailing boats in the frame..


The side view...


And a close up, love my chipboard anchor and just left it as nature intended...okay I forgot to paint it, but it still looks good..


Then we have the same papers but in blue, a nice navy and white..


Some seagulls and a compass die cut...and a sailors knot in some thin rope..


And a side view...

So there we go, getting through them, and once that is done I will get onto some mixed media that I have been playing with..

Thanks so much for stopping by..

Luv CHRISSYxx

I love how you made your own portholes and used them as frames. Super nautical papers and details with rope. These kind of designs work for both men and women and I do love that about a card.
