Down By the Sea ~Tilda~

Hello everyone, I had started making this card for Just Magnolia challenge using their sketch.....well I didn't quite make it......so here it is anyway. I had a blast making this. This being my second Tilda card and my first prismacolor gamsol card. I used pp that my son Cody had bought for me at the Dollar Tree from Miss Elizabeth......now didn't he make a great choice! Thanks Cody!! The shell was from 2003 a die cut from the scrapbook store. The pier piland was cut from Cricut from the LAB cart. at 2 1/2 and on the flip. Down by the Sea was cut at 1 1/2 from LAB. Prima flowers, stickles, sea shells, MS halloween fence punch (I think it also looks like beach fencing) Autumn leaves stamps, and hemp rope. TFL!

Navy Man

Hello everyone my aunt had recently sent me this pic of my grandfather when he was young from 1942.....well I was impressed. I knew he had been in WWII but that was all I really knew...not knowing the branch. I knew I was gonna scrap it...just getting to it. He is now in his 80's. I plan on placing in Ms.Schwiet
challenge of distressing......because I distressed everything...even the anchor and the helm..it is just hard to see. I used BoBunny Back to Basic's Beautiful Life Collage. The Navy seal came from SugarTree Kersten collection pp..as the word Navy and the Eagle wings behind the photo. I then cut out with the Cricut the helm and the anchors from LIB anchors cut at 2 from border and anchor cut at 3 1/2. I then used embossing refill and painted on the helm with a brush then added the gold detail embossing powder. I then covered with Ranger crackle glaze. Which really gave it an old feel. I ink distressed. The rope is from Wal-Mart. The chain was some chain I had and I dipped it into black paint and hung to dry. MM tiny alphs..love those!! The compass legend is a stamp from stampcraft....probally around 1999 or earlier. I stamped unto the copper foil from Amaco..using black Staz-on. Thanks for your time and viewing!!!
