Welcome back to day three of the NND July release & 2 year celebration! Today's new set is called Message in a Bottle - and there are matching dies available for this set as well!
I love how this turned out! I made my own background paper with the anchor stamp. To make it a little more weathered and distressed, I used my ink blending tool and some Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
I die cut three bottles - one out of the background paper, one out of light blue paper and one out of acetate. I inset the light blue piece into my background paper, and positioned the die cut ship where I wanted it. I then layered the stamped acetate bottle over the top.
I hope you've had a great time hopping along - aren't the new sets and the dies awesome this month? Be sure to enter to win! See you soon with some more fun stuff! ;)
