Happy Birthday

It is a while since I have done much craftying, but now that I have got my travels documented and pictures in an album, I can start to play again.

 I made this card for hubby. It was lots of fun and is easy to put together. Essentially you need the card itself and 3 other pieces of card. On the bottom card I stamped themed stamps and in this case fish, rope and compass from a Kaisercraft set called Hunt and Gather. I was really impressed with the image as it came out very clear and had good detail. I then rubbed distress ink colours Broken China,Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans,Peeled Paint and others from my stash, until the desired affect . The next piece of card was stamped with a Tim Holtz expression and lightly coloured with the same blue inks. Finally I stamped the boat on another piece of card and gentally ripped the edge to give it that old vintage look and buffed the image with Faded Jeans and Wild Honey.
