Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Lindsey has chosen a nautical theme.
If nautical isn't you then anything goes birthday is fine too!
The design team and our party guest Melanie have loads of inspiration for you, so I hope you can play along.
I thought this retired map stamp from Stampin Up would fit the theme as you need maps to navigate at sea!
It's stamped in versafine clair nocturne ink, clear embossed , the sprayed with antique linen and old paper distress stains. The edges are distressed with a Tim Holtz tool and inked with frayed burlap distress ink.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Always Fun Challenge, layers
Supplies:
Stampin Up world map: versafine clair nocturne ink & clear ep; distress spray stains & ink; Mama Elephant scripty birthday die; happy sticker.
Thanks for visiting,
