Digi Darla's Monday Copy Cat Challenge

Happy Monday friends.  Today begins a new challenge over at Digi Darla's.  Our challenge this week is going to be a monthly occurrence.  It's our "Copy Cat" Challenge.  Everyone who enters will receive the same image to work with.  This week it is "Ye Olde Sailing Ship"

All you have to do to enter this week is make a project using this image.  Here's what I designed:

I colored the image with colored pencils and OMS.  I then added some white paint, which I dry brushed onto the waves.  I chalked the sky and added a bit of dark blue ink to make the horizon line.  I used Labels 10 Nestabilities to die cut the image and mat.  I also used the same set to die cut the sentiment and mat.  I offset the mats from the images for interest.  The stamped map uses a Stamp Man Nautical image and is stamped with Memento Espresso Ink.  I then crinkled and wrinkled and wadded up the image, inked it heavily with Memento Vintage Photo and took a lighter to some of the edges.   The patterned papers are all from DCWV and I found these three antique buttons in my stash.  I love the way this card turned out.  I think out of all the cards I have made since 2010, this has to be my favorite. 

I hope to see your copy cat project at Digi Darla this week. Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I truly appreciate it.  God bless y'all.
