Escape the ordinary

Dawn has chosen the theme Scenic, for our latest challenge here at cardz4galz. You can create your own scene or use a topper/paper image as you wish.

As I’m playing with my latest items that came as a birthday gift from my hubby, I decided to use one of the die sets in the kit. This is from Spellbinders called Deckside Dreams. It is a cool set. I used mainly oddments of scrap CS for my ship. The background is done with a StampinUp folder, the wave seafoam is from Kokorosa, the fish is a Gummiapan die, sentiment from Spellbinders and the sun is from an unnamed stamp set that I fussy cut. The little seagull uses a hack from Jennifer McGuire that she demonstrated, and it worked so well.

To be honest the fish was added to cover up a small smudge on the ships hull. I had some issues with gluing the stripes and must have gotten some glue there accidentally. Years go I would have freaked to have something like this, today, its a shrug my shoulders event, and what can I do to hide the booboo?

I’m rather pleased with my little scene and love the dimension this die set creates. It was fun to make this one. I look forward to seeing your ideas in the gallery over the next 2 weeks. Have fun.

Thanks for joining me today, I appreciate you and also your time.

  4. A very pleasing card and especially suitable for anyone going on a cruise. The fish is super nice and glad you came up with that idea even though it was used to cover up a smudge. No one would have known about the smudge.

    1. Thanks. I only mention mishaps so that newer crafters realize that everyone makes them. I know I find it helpful when a DT shares a booboo.
