PLEASE REMEMBER WE ARE A STAMPING CHALLENGE AND HAVE TO SEE STAMPING AS THE FOCAL POINT OF YOUR PROJECT.
The papers are from a pad called 'Character' and I thought they were perfect for my travel theme.
I used neutral tones throughout layering the DP onto some kraft cardstock before adding it to the base card.
All stamping was done with Vintage Sepia Versamark ink.
I stamped the compass onto a text sheet from the same stack and fussy cut then stuck into the right top corner.
The left over sheet was used to stamp the sentiment and also to create the banner which I ran through my really old crimping machine. A couple of punched holes and some thick twine knotted at the top.
After stamping the image onto the hand made tag I added a little colour to the sea with 'Salty Ocean' DI. Inked the edges with Antique Linen. Same thick twine through the tag top.
Our prize is this selection of goodies -
Hope you will join us!

So - those of you who follw me will know I have been AWOL for a ridiculously long time - 32 days to be exact!
Arrived home yesterday from the National Championships - we were really lucky with the weather - just 2 bad days. I collapsed into my own bed last night - LOVED IT!!
Only two more nights home then am off again this time to Elgin in Scotland for the Under 25 Mens Internationals... home next week but will have time whilst here to come and visit you all. Coffee, biscuit and blogland - all a girl could dream of!
Thanks for staying with me - missed you all. x

This is a superb masculine card Viv and I love your nautical theme. I like the sepia colour tones that you've used and the subtle flash of colour for the sea looks great. Lovely layering and layout too. Sandra X

Well Viv, you have been a busy lady, I'm not surprised you were glad to sleep in your own bed for a change. This is a great masculine card with that clipper ship on it and the postmarks and compass dp makes a great background. I love that touch of twine on the tag and the fishtail banner run through those eyelets, a great design touch. Hope the championships in Elgin go well and that the weather stays good for you. x
Love this, thanks for playing at agoac. I have a giveaway so hop over.
A fantastic card Viv, I love the vintage look it has too.
