When thinking about today's HYCCT challenge, I wanted to do something that wouldn't seem like an ordinary method of transportation. I saw this old PSX stamp that I haven't inked up in years, and it just seemed like the perfect thing for this challenge. Instead of coloring it in, I decided to do it in sepia tones. I stamped it onto kraft cardstock and then sponged three different shades of brown ink around the edges. I went over a few details with a white pencil (birds, boats, and buoys).

Wow, Holly...this is amazing! The sepia tones are so soothing. I love the distressing, the embellishments...such a wonderful card!
Thanks for paying along with my challenge!

Great! Love how you stamped and colored this image. The white highlights really add a lot. You did think beyond the usual and you made something extra special. Very nicely done. Thanks for supporting HYCCT in many ways.
