LOVE the colors Mary chose this week! They screamed nautical to me so I went with that theme.
I've had this Edna stamp for quite some time but never used her. I had a lot of fun coloring her - first with Copics and Stampin Blends and then with the Prismacolors to add detail. I die cut her and then stacked three Balmy Blue die cuts underneath to pop her up.
For the background, I stenciled the stripes in Balmy Blue. When adding the rope borders, I originally had ships wheel and anchor in brown and gray but they just stood out too much so I recut them in white. I managed to get dessert in by adding the three enamel dots - I only wish they were a little whiter. It's amazing how many different shades of white there are! I had other dots that looked cream but the package said white.
