Sail Away Watercolour Card

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with one of my cards from my challenge to myself to use my barely used stash! I stamped the Stampin' Up image with Stazon onto watercolour paper. I then cut this with a nestie, then coloured with Aquamarkers. I used My Minds Eye Stella papers which I love but struggle to cut into for this reason-I felt the swirls really suited the sailing image :-) I then used Buttons from my stash as my embellishments.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
I love Promarkers: Simply Does it
Artistic Inspirations: For Men
Card Mania: Spots or Stripes
Kaboodle Doodles: Stripes or Circles
Make It Monday: Anything Goes
Paper Playtime: Buttons or Brads
Stamps&Fun=Creativity: Cards for Men
Here Come the Boys: Must have Buttons
That Craft Place: Makes for Men

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments :-)
