A Birthday Gondola Ride card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi crafty friends,

I had a lot of fun creating this card. I fussy cut The Paper Shelter images out and then used my oxide inks to create the background. This was a bit of an experiment with my embossing ink pen to scribble lines then add some white embossing powder to create a wave effect. I accidentally smudged the funny little seagulls I doodled on, I think they were a mistake to start with but, I can usually find a way to cover errors up but there was nothing I could do to fix this. So we'll say the big seagull is travelling so fast he's leaving a trail lol.

  6. That's one fast bird. I hate when I finish a card only to smudge the ink. Great job with the water lines. Thanks for joining us at Catch the Bug Challenge.

  10. This is such a charming card! I loved reading your description of it and think that the waves were so cleverly-done. And your description of the seagulls cracked me up! I love how the "fast-flying one" has such great character. Thank you for sharing such a delightful piece of art with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
