Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday Challenge this week is all about Seth....a single sailor who needs help finding his way. You see he is facing 42,000 waves from a big storm and his ship is taking on water!! Yikes!!
Larry the Lighthouse keeper and Sirius, his trusty Newfoundland dog stand ready to help Seth if he shipwrecks.
We can help by sailing our ships over to Seth and throwing him some life preservers, or if you tend to get seasick, head on over to the lighthouse, and bring dry clothes (you know what it's like to walk in soggy shoes??), or food, or tea (or brandy)...you know anything Seth could use.
I am late to the party cause I only have this old row boat to help but I'm on my way...hang on Seth!!!!
We were also supposed to add a little encouragement for Seth so I added a sentiment from Cornish Heritage Farms Encouragement Expressions. The seaside image by Impression Obsession from Stamper's Dream was colored with copics. The sky was brayered with Ranger Distress Ink Wild Honey.The frame was made from 7 Gypsies Gypsy Market dp and oval Nestabilities. The May Arts silk ribbon finishes it off. TFL!!

I'm surprised you made it to the party in that rowboat, what with 42,000 big waves out there. The water does look amazingly calm here though. Glad you came. Beautiful card.

Your old rowing boat - and I do mean the boat and not you ;-) - looks as if it's been to so many destinations that it's near the end of the journey! For me this has a lot of subtext going on, with the little yacht on the horizon with plenty of life in it yet. I am sure I am reading way more into it than you thought, but it's not often that a card conjures up that much deep thought for me . As always from you a divine bow, which looks even better on that paper.

Better late than never is what I say. We can always use one more boat! I love your sky and that gorgeous frame. The colors are just beautiful. Thanks for rowing on over!
