Mail art

Greetings

This is my mail art for the latest TIOT challenge. The design was made by masking off an area for the address then stamping the kelp and seahorses stamps design by Ryn. Do join us we would love to see your creations. 

This is the matching card for the envelope.

The card was made by applying distress ink directley to the card stock and then spritzing it with water then I stamped the fish shoal (design by Ryn.)

underwater folding

Greetings,

The current challange at Try it on Tuesday is more than one fold. I did a gatefold card a decorated it with designs by Ryn stamps.

 

I had a bit of a problem when I didn't stamp the baby seahorse properly so I over stamped kelp over it so it looked like he is emerging from the leaves which I really like. 

The project is inspired by the below photo.

 This amazing image is by the amzingly talented:

Kyle McBurnie, California Harbor seal in a kelp forest at Cortes bank, near San Diego, CA.

 I used the following distress inks to try and convay the beautiful shades of blue: faded jeans, tumbled glass, peacock feathers and of course salty ocean. I listened to Florence and the machine's never let me go which really went with the theme. I look foward to seeing your creations. 

Please remeber we have a DT call on at the mo, come and join the team.
