Nautical card for MDUC #74

Here comes my DT-card for MDUC for the week to come.

The challenge will be to make a Summer theme card! I did go for the nautical style. The truth is that I didn't have much time making this card, with the preparations for my trip to Rome, so I used an image that I had coloured up this summer, but hadn't put on a card yet. (I wanted to use the mermaid, but since I often uses several hours just colouring an image, I used this instead:))

Sailor Tilda is from Magnolias summer kit for 2010. I just love that kit:))

She is coloured with Distress Ink, reinkers. If you notice that she is a bit paler than usual, it is because I had mixed the colours tattered rose and vintage photo in advance, and it made a lighter colour. Usually I start with only vintage photo on the image, then add tattered rose. That way she gets a bit darker, cause the vintage photo has already fasten itself to the paper.

The text and the rope are also from the Summer kit 10. The papers are from Magnolia, and I have also used a currigated cardboard, and a ticket from Tim Holtz. The cardboard is coloured with Crackle Paint-Picket Fence and Rock Candy.

All paperedges are inked with Walnut Stain and sewed.

I hope you like it and that I have inspired you to join us this week at Magnolia Down Under Challenge. The rest of my teamies have made some stunning creations for you as always. Pop over and have a look!

Thank you so much for visiting!! And have a wonderful evening:))

I am sure I have, in ROME!!!!!:)))
