Portobello Road Vintage Sailing

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with another of my cards from my challenge to myself-use the stash you already own in different ways. For this project I stamped my ship with brown Memento and coloured with Promarkers. I then distressed the image cut with a nestie with Tea Dye Distress inks and then distressed my Papermania Portobello Road papers with this ink too. I placed these on a Kraft card mat then placed them on a white card blank. I then embellished with Portobello Road ribbon, bow and buttons.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Dude Time Doodles: Buttons
I love Promarkers: Transport
Penny's Paper Challenges: Masculine
Waste Not Wednesday: Anything Goes
LEJ Designs Challenges: Vintage
Simon Says Stamp and Show: No Rules
Craft Your Days Away: Anything Goes
ATCs and Cards with Attitude: Anything Goes
Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge: Ribbons and Bows
Fat Pages with Attitude: Anything Goes

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments, I really appreciate them :-)

    Very pretty card. I love the stamped image of the schooner on the die cut center and the beautiful Union Jack design in the background. It's beautifully distressed. The added ribbon and buttons are great embellishments! Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
