I love the sketch from today's sketch challenge based on this card by Hianna Cheep Love CC252 by Hianna at Splitcoaststampers I am working on a bunch of cards to give my pastor-husband for Christmas so that he'll have a stash on hand. I just got the Weathered bg stamp in the mail yesterday and I'm loving it already! Started out by stamping in Crumb Cake on Very Vanilla for the start of my distressed look. I added some early Espresso sponging around the edges of the base and most of the panels. My blue panel is Not Quite Navy stamped with the ship's manifest stamp several times. The Early Espresso piece was run through the Big Shot with the Distressed Texturz plate inked with Early Espresso. My image panel is Natural Ivory with the Script bg in Crumb Cake, the globe in Soft Suede and the ship in Not Quite Navy. I crumpled and sponged this. I distressed the hemp a bit and then added my sentiment . Thanks for another great sketch Roxie!

Wow I really like all of the distressed elements here - I don't make these cards because mine don't come out looking as awesome as this - but I do love them!!
