OK, OK. it is getting harder to come up with interesting post titles! Yes I know this one is a bit lame! oh well you do get that at times. By the way, what is it with Blogger lately, only showing the latest post? ggrrrrrrrrrr or is it just me? I've checked my settings and they are fine.
I've had some time to put together another card for challenges, I'm on a roll, I made the 'painting' a while ago and when I saw the Unscripted sketch this week, I knew that I had to use it in this card.
That top rectangle just spoke to me. I'm sure you know what that's like. Anyway, here is my take on the sketch, I've also used the SU Only challenge ~ Thinking Of You and the Our Creative Corner ~ Masculine theme.
Here is a close up of the 'Painting' the Notably Ornate frame always looked like a picture frame to me so I embossed it in gold and then cut it out with a craft knife and paper snips, sponging the background and layering the boat in there on dimensionals, I've also used dimensionals to pop the frame up above the background. I love the way it turned out.
Here is the card in full
