My first thought on reading Lisa's challenge was sailing and this old ODBD stamp - so I stamped it at an angle on a die-cut square that was on my desk. After colouring, I masked it off, brayered blue over the square and used ArtistCellar Sea Fan stencil with modelling paste, which I sprinkled with Moss Green Brushos while it was still wet.The seahorse is from Art Journey, and I used my Brother label maker for the sentiment. I have one roll of black font on clear tape which I tried first, but it didn't stand out enough.For the background I took a piece of sheet music sprayed with yellow from my box, and stamped the shell and the starfish from SU's Calm Seas all around the edge. I always wish that set actually had a Calm Seas sentiment instead of just "thinking of you".Â

I just watched a PBS show called 'The Ship That Changed the World.' It was a ship similar to Colombus' ships but something entirely new. So fascinating, I love tall ships. Your backgrounds are gorgeous as always.
