Watercolor Dinghy


Hi again, it's my Dad's birthday in a couple of days. He loves fishing and goes on trips with a mate in their little boat.
This is my attempt at paper tole! I've cut and layered the boat and the rope to try and make them stand out more. I think I need to use thicker foam tape.
I coloured the image with Inktense pencils and blended with an aqua painter, so I'm going to enter
Virginia's View Challenge, a new challenge for me, where the theme is watercolor. 

I'm also linking up again to Addicted to Stamps where the theme is anything goes.

Materials used:
Stamp: Inky Antics Fishing Favourites
Inktense pencils; Divine Swirls embossing folder; Sentiment sticker.

Thanks for visiting :)

So beautiful, I love the way you have 'framed' the watercolored piece!

Fabulous card, I love your embossed 'waves'.
Sometimes I use two layers of foam tape, if it's a bit thin.

So lovely. I know what 'tole painting' is if you do it non-paper. Not sure if that is the same when you're doing on paper. But this is so pretty, and a very calming scene too. Love the way you've used the swirls EF to make a perfect frame for this scene. Your Dad will love this one. TFS & Hugs

You can totally tell the boat and the rope are popped out. I noticed it as soon as I saw your card. I assumed you were just that much of a whiz at coloring and shading to give it depth. It is a great card and I love the swirly background as it gives the feel of waves.
