For the base layer, I created a piece of wrinkle free distress with 3 greens, then stamped the IO Map on it in Sepia, and sponged on some blues and tea dye.
Pelican stamped on watercolour paper, coloured and cut out.
Sentiment - paper treated with wrinkle free distress using antique linen, pumice stone and old paper. I stamped the compass from Open Sea in stamped-off Versafine Smokey Grey, cut and distressed the edges, crumpled it up and added more distressing with inks.
Image: stamped on Bristol Board with Versafine Black and masked. I sponged the sky in with distress inks (squeezed lemonade, wild honey, worn lipstick, dusty concord, stormy sky, and more blue for the sea). Lighthouse coloured with pencils, clouds added with gesso. It's layered onto a piece of white card sponged with Walnut Stain and distressed. Edges stitched with brown thread and sponged/

Sabrina, I truly believe no one can create a scene the way you can! The stitched map BG, the sentiment on the 'weathered' old scrap of paper, and the pelican perched on the piling, perfectly complement your lighthouse scene and the boat beyond!!! Just stunning !! I can almost feel the salt spray in my face!!!!
