Sailor boy

Good morning, I hope this post finds you all well. Me I’m still struggling with my depression if I’m being honest I’m in a very dark place at the moment and finding crafting or anything else in fact very hard to do, having said that I do have a card for you today. It’s my DT card for Mo Manning.

The papers I used are freebies from Lianascraps(link below) which I have distressed the edges.
I have used for my image one of the little sailor boys from the set over at Mo’s digital pencil, they are all so adorable but I think this little chappy is my favourite I just love to colour him. He is coloured with a mix of my usual Pablo and polychrome pencils. He was then die cut out using an oblong die set I got from the works.

I made the embellishments cutting the wheel and anchor twice through my cuttlebug then gluing together, the card was 400gsm but I wanted it really strong and sturdy, then I embossed it with copper and black embossing powder to give an old weathered look.

The sentiment was a freebie from a magazine which I die cut out using the same set I used for the little sailor boy.
Well, that’s it from me for now. Hope you like my card for today and I will see you soon.
