My card will be entered into the Challenge at Mod Squad Blog, Encouragement.
I made the background by using the 'watercolor paper and smooshing' technique, I believe that is the technical term. It's when you place inks on your acrylic block, mist with water, and then smoosh it on to watercolor paper. When I did this it looked like a stormy sea scene to me, so I went with it. The image is by Inspired By Stamping, Pirates. The sentiment is from Gina K Designs, Enjoy The Sunshine, a great match! Spellbinders Classic and Scallop Circle dies. Holes were made with my Crop-A-Dile, Ribbon Tabs, and Enamel Dots for accents.
A fun masculine card.
Thanks so much for popping in, I am glad you did!
Enjoy~~
