Create a scene for the MAWTT September Challenge

It's been a long time since I've been able to join in as part of the design team at Moving Along with the Times.  Life and health have got in the way, but I'm just about on time this month YAY! as they launch the challenge of 'Create a scene'.  

For my scene I've used the popular stamp and die set, Sailing Home with Smooth Sailing dies.  I've created a neutral colour combo giving it a sort of sepia look.  I stamped the lighthouse using Soft Suede ink and then used one of my new paint pens, the smallest nib, to move the colour from the stamped image across it to effectively colour it in.  I did the same with the sailing boat, but used Early Espresso to give a darker shade and hopefully create some distance between the two and hit the challenge theme of a scene.  To create the sea I took a tip from my team member Dawn Howard and used the Birch background stamp to create waves.  

I've added some simple die cut details and sentiment all from the stamp set or dies.  

You can join in our MAWTT challenge here.

Have a good month and Welcome September, it's sunny with us today but cool so we are also doing some gardening while we can.  

Happy crafting and be safe.
