Hobbies

 A new challenge over on The Male Room blog. Hobbies.

Here is my card for it. I picked sailing.


I used blank Page Muse for the stamps and distress inks for the background. 

I stamped the water with distress ink in blue. I didn't cover the whole stamp so there were some open areas. I then blended the whole card with the same blue ink. 


Then I stamped the sailboat on white cardstock and layered it on black cardstock. 
On the bottom of the card base I added some twine and made a little tie in it.
