Thank you, Judy, for inspiring me to play in this challenge. I made a bunch of panels, but so far only able to finish one card.
After I had most of the scene done, I took a mini ink pad and used the edge to create weeds and add to the water lines, then tapped it along the edges for a more distressed finish.
Magnificent creation. First thing came to mind was Captain Cooks Bay and it beauty!!! Love your technique of creating grass. Mahalo for the inspiration will add this to my high ho gallery for future creations.

All I can say is WOW! First of all, I L♥ve nautical cards, so you got me there. Second, you have done an outstanding job with this technique working for your lighthouse scene! Wonderful way to create reeds and waves with the edge of your ink pad; so cool! Beautiful card, sure to bring soothing to the recipient, Rosy~

How clever to create the grasses & weeds plus waterline with the edge of your mini ink! And that's 'after' your fabby work with the wrinkle free distress technique .... and that awful volcano stress!!! (((hugs)))
