The Adventure Begins!

 Hello to all!

Happy Saturday!

A Masculine theme card with a nautical version!

The background is created by a Gelli plate, distress inks and a brayer on a watercoloured panel. 

Added some water droplets to look more realistic for a cloudy sky and ocean scene. It is the first time I used the Gelli plate and love the results, made work more interesting with textures.


Now I used a sea waves stencil and applied an embossing pad using sponge dauber and heat embossed using Midnight dreams glitter powder for texture and giving a nice amount of movement!


Using Opaque bright white EP stamped the ship image. Added some seagulls because no trip to the ocean is complete without them flying by! Adhered the panel to a white panel. Tied a jute twine.


Now die cut some bamboo sticks, some seaweeds out of vellum sheets, navy blue CS, light blue CS and a Lighthouse, a ship wheel.  First I adhered silver coloured metal net and added all the elements along with a sentiment.
