Modes of Transport



Today sees the start of a new challenge at Fashionable Stamping Challenges and this month the theme is 'Modes of Transport', as always there is a generous prize of a $20 shopping voucher from FlonzCraft.

I don't have a lot in the way of transport stamps so a ship it is. It's a really quick and easy card from me, starting with an oval mask I stamped the Flonz Ship and then used Pan Pastels to create the background and water, stamped some birds and a Penny Black sentiment and finito, not a lot more to say really !!

Do pop over to the challenge blog to see what my team mates have created and of course join in with our challenge.

This is a lovely, masculine card Brenda and I really like the stamp that you've used, I might need to put that one on my wish list. The oval frame works beautifully and I love the colours that you've used. Have a lovely day. Crafty hugs, Sandra x

Craftyfield said...

It's a lovely Vintage image and the oval shape is reminiscent of old times paintings. xx

Leanne Harris said...

What a lovely tranquil scene you have set here Brenda - I think it's the beautiful colours that make it seem so tranquil - like in a sunset. I don't use pan pastels enough and perhaps I should get them out again - see what you've done (only kidding)!!!!!!!!! A lovely piece of inspiration Brenda xxxxxx

Karen Petitt said...

Stunning project! The sailboat stamp is wonderfully evocative of a bygone age and your use of Pan Pastels: not simple for some of us but so very inspiring none the less xx

Ellibelle said...

Great use of Pan Pastels again Brenda, loving the design!

Greta said...

As soon as I saw the card I knew you were at it again with Pan Pastels--love how you use them, Brenda! The perfect masculine BD card! Hope you're doing better--I've been thinking about you. Hugs, Greta

I would love to be sailing on your ship - I never get sea sick and LOVE the tilting and jostling from waves. I especially enjoy the sea breeze and the scent of salt and ocean creatures. Lovely card, Brenda, and a place my soul can escape to just be seeing the soft colors of the sky and ocean. love, de
