Here's my design today:
I began by inking up JustRite's new "Seashell Bay Labels Twenty Two" seahorse image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloring it with Copic Sketch markers. "Seashell Bay" matches Spellbinders "Labels Twenty Two" dies, just as the name implies, and makes for a swift and clean image panel.
I used Bo Bunny's "Timepiece" decorator paper, but did overstamp it with JustRite's new "Chevron Background Stamp." JustRite has a passel of new background stamps...see them HERE. May Art's Natural Burlap String and a vintage button add a simple touch (keeping that man in mind).
All supplies (minus the Copics) are available from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.
And...
