Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge-#1


Waltzingmouse Stamps have a lot of fans, one of them being this website, Waltzingmouse Fanatics. Since I recently "acquired" some WMS stamp sets, I was pleased to be able to enter this challenge, their first one!
We were to use this sketch for inspiration.





And here is my take on this sketch.
I used WMS "Woodgrain" for the texture on the "seas", and the ship and sentiment are from the recently released "Ocean Bound". I added some clouds and twine to finish it off. 
Thanks for looking!

  6. Oh I love your card especially the open seas - although I do feel slightly seasick. We had waves like this on our honeymoon when we sailed too close to cyclone Fran in March 1992 - well it felt like that anyway LOL.
