DH and I have been away for weeks in outback Australia and we just made it home in time for me to
go to Craft Camp. Our ATC theme this year was "nautical" so that gave me a great head start for this challenge.
The recipe is J U N E. Here we go....
J ...jute
U...unravelled jute AND up cycled ATC
N...nautical theme
E...eleven inches of jute (bet ya didn't see that coming)
No copics were harmed making this, all the colouring was done with Distress Inks. Smack the ink pad on an aluminium sheet, squirt a tiny bit of water in one corner only, this wll give you lots of shades of the same colour.
The stamping was made easy by using MISTI. Hope you join in the fun.

Welcome home. Good to view your eye catching cards and giggle at your writing.
Your use of jute is creative and the end result of your use of distress inks is a stand out image.

What a terrific card, Susie. The life preserver looks so real with your fantastic highlighting. The blue bg turned out great, and I love the sentiment.

Yeah Susie!! That is a great bit of thinking I'd say!!! You are a genius!
I am so happy to see you back in the gallery, judging by the comments, everyone is happy to see your card!!!!
I love this image and your coloring is wonderful! Love the bg too!! I'm sorry I did not wait to comment last night, I had some very bad pain in my middle back and went to bed on ice.

Aww, Susie, you have been so MISSED here in the galleries, but your absence has only made our hearts grow fonder - and you certainly did not lose your mojo!!
Love this nautical-themed card - jute goes so well with all things to do with ships, anchors and such, and your life preserver looks great propped up against the post and anchor. Loved your take on the J-U-N-E challenge!! Big Hugs!
