Impression Obsession Pack Your Bags challenge


The challenge this week for Impression Obsession is Pack Your Bags.  Where would you travel to for vacation or whatever.  For me a vacation would be going back home to the Jersey Shore.  I grew up across the bay from Barnegat Lighthouse.  On a foggy day, you could smell the ocean at my house and we were about 3 miles inland.  I do miss that salty smell.  So I grabbed my Rowboat rubber stamp.  I forgot how much I enjoy coloring and this was no exception.  I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink and used my Copic markers.  I then masked the image with Eclipse tape and airbrushed the sky; also with Copics.  I used a seashell embossed background paper, added some twine and a chunky brad and I was done.  Finished size is 4.25 x 5.5 inches.
