This is a close up of the focal image. I sponged the background with Memento ink. Since the challenge was to "texture" the image, I used an embossing plate and hand tool and embossed waves into the water and used a gelly pen to accent the wave. I also elected to add texture byadding twine and making Franciscan knots.
Thank you for sharing your time with me. Please come back soon.
Hugs,
Marie
I love every card you make. You are such an awesome crafter. I love this one and think I will be ordering this GinaK set because of the wonderful card. Your coloring and embossing are beautiful. This is an awesome card.
ReplyDeleteMarie, your mix of sponged ink with Copic colors and embossing for texture with knotted twine gives this beautiful card a realistic look. Nicely done! ~ Rose
ReplyDeleteThose darn jobs...always keeping us from the beach! :) Is that a tiny blue sailboat waaaay out in the distance on the right that I see? Or is that just my eyes playing tricks on me? Either way, this card is so peaceful and fun.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you on the Stamp TV challenge. :)
