Welcome Home Card

Created this card with a Navy/Welcome Home theme.

Used a sketch which I rotated to the left 90 degrees. Used Paper Smooches picture for inspiration.

Used BugABoo digi, Boat Duckie. Colored digi with Crayola pencil colors & some on computer. Cut out digi with Simon Says Stamp Stitched die. Added a wobble to back of digi.

Used a Sizzix Pocket die turned upside down to be a house for PS picture inspiration. Stamped PS banners, Eagle, pier, sentiment & StarFish. Trimmed the banners to use as part of sketch.

Added Tim Holtz texture paste to PS stamped StarFish to give it realistic bumpy texture. After allowing StarFish to dry I used Wink of Stella gold pen to give it sparkle.

On PS Eagle I used Enamel accents black for Eagles's eye, GellyRoll white pen for Bald Eagle features & Wink of Stella gold pen for Eagle's beak.

Fussy cut out with scissors: banners, Eagle, pier & StarFish.
