This week I decided to join in on the Sketch Challenge at Splitcoaststampers and it seemed the perfect challenge to use my new stamp with, and will also work with the challenge over at Our Daily Bread Designs this week for wood or stone. I stamped the background for the look of wood, then I stamped and embossed my image on a rectangular piece of kraft card stock. It is embossed because I then took some bleach and washed it over the water to add a little different tone to the monochromatic look. Both of the rectangles were mounted on black card stock and laid out per the sketch. A little twine with an anchor to finish it off - I couldn't find the compass charm I KNOW I have, arghhh, need to do some cleaning in this room!!! All in all a nice looking card to add to my stash, one that will not be there long before it is sent out.
Supplies: Our Daily Bread Design Wood Background and Waves on the Sea, Pigment Ink, Clear Embossing Powder, Kraft card stock, Black card stock, twine, brad turned into a charm. SU chocolate chip ink, Spellbinders Rectangles Die
Challenges: ODBDSLC154, SC436
