Good morning! Before heading to work I wanted to post a little something I made for the Embellish Challenge. Before getting to the cart I also want to say that working in summer should be prohibited by the Human Rights Chart! Ah, well...
The challege is focused in Nautical Color Trends. Did I have any nautical stamp set or patterned papers? Nope (except this sentiment from Joy's Life). Could I get creative and create my own nautical elements? Sure! So I took this Hero Arts set. I stamped the t-shirt and went over it with a PTI distressed stripe stamp and a Copic marker to make a nautical shirt. Then I drew the anchor by hand. The trousers were stamped and paper pieced. And finally, my clothesline was made from jute twine to resemble rope, because a boat is not a boat if it hasn't some rope on board ;)
Thanks for stopping by!
Supplies: Cardstock: Canson; Stamps: Hero Arts, Papertrey Ink, Joy's Life; Ink: Memento, Versafine, Jenni Bowlin; Patterned Paper: Pink Paislee.
Love that striped shirt! Such a cute design.

What a cute card! Love the line and the small pins that hold the clothes (don't know the propper word for it in english)
