'Smuggler's Cove.'

Good evening Lovelies,

Wow! what another fabulous day we have had here, wall to wall sunshine and fluffy white clouds.   I do hope you are all enjoying this glorious weather.   Thank you all once again for your lovely comments and  visits on my last blog post.   Today I would like to share another card with you, which was made using Imagination Craft's  fabulous 'Smuggler's Haunts' collection.   This is such a fun collection, love it!

Matt a seven and a half inch square of black card onto an 8" square white base card.   Cut a seven and a quarter inch square of white card,   Add  small blobs of the Cadence acrylic paints - light yellow, turquoise and warm brown onto a glass worktop, or similar and add some sprays of water to each and mix  a little with a paintbrush, not mixing the colours too much.

Lay the piece of white card down on top of the paints and gently rub your hand over the card, then lift the card up and leave to dry, or if you are an impatient crafter as I am lol! you can dry with a heat gun, (but I do think the best results are achieved when letting the paint dry naturally).

Stamp the ruined tin mine building and chimney, plus one of the smugglers on the top right of the coloured card, using a black ink pad.

Stamp the cove in the bottom left corner of the card using a black ink pad and one of the smugglers on the rocks in the bottom right corner.  

Stamp a clump of grass in the bottom right corner,  again using a black pad.

Stamp the sailing ship in the cove using black ink.

Matt and layer this card onto the black matt on the base card.

Lay the compass design from the stencil onto a spare piece of white card and spread the Bright Copper Sparkle & Twinkle over the design, using a metal spatula.   Remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.   Repeat this once more and leave to dry.

When the compasses are dry, cut them out leaving a tiny border of white card around the edges.   Fix one to the top left and the other in the bottom right corners, using sticky foam pads and the card is finished.

Below are a couple of photos  taken at an angle to show the dimension and the sparkle on the compasses.   Thanks again for stopping by my blog.   Enjoy the gorgeous weather but please do stay safe, we're not out of the woods yet! as they say.
