Imagine a rusted ship / submarine at the bottom of the ocean but still with wonderful things happening around it.. :
So for this card I created a take on the industrial metal technique that I love so much and added plenty of rust. I wanted the feel of a sunken, abandoned port hole..not sure I pulled it off but I am pleased with the rusty effect at least .
I created a rusty porthole for the delicate seahorses to swim in...using distress powders and idea-ology fasteners.
I added some dyed seam binding to tie in the soft blue seahorses and a muse token , dabbed with distress paint.
Some gears and cogs....they get everywhere you know!
And there you have my nautical make , there is plenty of time to play along as the challenge lasts all month and all the details can be found here .
The supplies I have used are listed below and any questions drop me a line and I will try and help .
keep those fingers inky!

This is awesome! Love those seahorses. The delicate look of the seahorses next to the fab rusty porthole is an amazingly cool contrast! xx
ReplyDeleteTotally brilliant, Trace - inspired thinking outside the box to create the porthole, and fabulous rusty and distressed effects throughout. And those seahorses look so beautiful!
