Hello everyone,
I'm back to the sea today, I know, but I cannot help it..it's what I love, except for the big project I'm working on now, only made 13 so far, vintage, different, fun, little creepy, but having the time of life and only 39 to go, for the first round and something else as well, gosh, I need to get off you tube for awhile..
But, today, it is the sea...under the sea to be precise and I needed a sunken ship!
and this die cut ship is the best along with the ships wheel..
cut and inked and already to go..
and what papers you may ask...gasp, these ones and the other pad that I finally found online arrived
so I'm hoarding that one..
Just look how busy this paper is, it is crazy busy, but it is going to work..
and I made an easel card, a big one...
I ripped paper to make the sand in this yellowy brown colour
and inked all the edges quite heavily..
Pushed the ship into the sand and die cut and coloured the coral and
sea plants..
I needed fish, but only little ones..
and die cut them in black, thankful that the set had more than one fish to cut..
Die cut a scroll and inked it, cut it twice,
once in patterned paper and once in white..
a treasures chest, barrel and quill all added to the mix and ready to glue down..
It went really quickly from this point and I sort of got quite excited to finish.
This the front...
This is inside....
Front tucked into and behind the map..
and looking straight at it..
there were splatters added and all sorts of little touches, and I love it..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll see you tomorrow..
Luv CHRISSYxx
