Open Sea

I needed some more masculine cards for my stash and went to The Open Sea for this one. 

I used Sherrill Graff's idea for the faux seal - you melt down embossing powders on aluminum foil in an oven that has been heated to 200 degrees and then shut off.  You can make a bunch and store them in a sealed plastic bag and then when you are ready to use them, use your heat tool to reheat, ink your stamp with versamark and then press it into the warm embossing powder chip.

Supplies:

The Open Sea

Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla card stock

Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Night of Navy classic ink

gold and clear embossing powder

versamark

heat tool

hemp twine

glue dots

sponges
