Manly Monday Open Sea

Welcome back to the late edition of Manly Monday. 

My card was created with the Stampin Up set Open Sea. I acquired the frame from a friend getting rid of her stuff and decided to turn blah plain white into a colored window out to sea. I heat embossed the ledger-type stamp in the set with Versa Mark ink and Ranger copper embossing powder. Then I used distress ink and an ink blender to make the frame brown. The boat is stamped with black Hero Arts ink onto watercolor paper. I then used a light blue distress ink combination for the sky, such as Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky, and for the water, I used Broken China. 

The card base is by Recollections and I inked the edges with more distress ink. {I love distress ink-can you tell?} The sentiment is cut from my Cricut and the cartridge Life's a Beach. I then painted it the different shades of color with a mixture of powdered chalk and paint both by Stamp N Plus.

That's it for today's card. Thanks for stopping by.

I have a fabulous lineup for tonight. Three of them are using my favorite company's images; Kenny K. Click on the blog title and check them out.
