Beside the sea

I made this card for my son's partner a while ago,before we went on holiday! 

He used to be a sea farer so I wanted to make a card to remind him of those days! The map is of an area I have happy memories of!  I used distress inks for the background and flicked some water over it. The stamps are Crafty Individuals. I stamped the seagull and the cases onto a separate piece of card to make them stand out!  

I would like to enter in the following challenges

Stamping Sensations - Feature a Creature

Country View Challenges - On your Travels

Crafty Individuals - Face value

Thanks for looking, Chris

You make such good use of your stamps, and those suitcases with the bird on top really stole the show. The entire card is a success, but those elements made the card extra special. Beautiful results.
