Desert Island Dream

 

 Hello

welcome to my little crafting place! 

Today I've something for this Daring Cardmakers' challenge to share:

Desert Islands and Sailing Ships

This week, be inspired by the book Robinson Crusoe, which  first appeared in paperback on this day April 25th, 1719. 

Written by Daniel Defoe it was based partly on the story of Alexander Selkirk who was marooned on a Pacific island for four years. 

 

Do you have the 'Desert Island Dream? 

Would you like to sail away?

 

 Create anything you like cards, tags, postcards or 3D project

Its up to you

 This was a great opportunity to use Spellbinders'
Summertime Vacay - Large Die of the Month Club,  June 2024

 It's no longer available in the US store, but it is still in the UK store at a bargain £15 - I think you'll need to be quick oif you want to get your hands on it!

 The background is a piece of pearlised aqua cardstock. I made the 'sea' using faber Castel pastels with a good amount of swooshing about with water to acheive a deeper shade than the sky

I cut the little island twice, one slightly darker to look like wet sand and overlapped them slightly.  I added white glitter glue to the white wavelet piece.

The palm trees were made by hand cutting the tree trunkx, and using a die from another set for the leaves - its actually extra leaves for a pineapple from a tropical themed die set, but its good to mix sets up, isn't it!
