This was a great challenge for me too this month from The Male Room as I realised I don't really have much in the way of Sea products in my stash. It's not a theme I often go to. But looking through my stamps I was delighted to find this image from AallandCreate designed by Bipasha BK from a set called Navigate Home.
I decided to do a Tag and used my gel press to create the background with Distress Oxides in Salty Ocean, Salvaged Patina, Chipped Sapphire and Iced Spruce. I then used black embossing powder for the stamp. I then found a very old stamp set from Kaisercraft which had the fish and the coral images. They were also embossed. The words from Tim Holtz Ideaology I thought fit the piece as I'm not very confident in the sea and I loved the little metal piece with the word lost on it.
I'm adding this into the following:

Fab sea themed tag Fiona - I love the inky background. I don’t often do sea themes either - well risen to the challenge of finding something suitable in your stash x
A very atmospheric tag and great wording to suit it too. Thanks for joining us at Tag along (and ATC's).

The sinking anchor paired with the 'lost' charm sent my thoughts into contemplation! That's some deep symbolism! Thanks for sharing your shaped tag at HQFSCAT! -- Becca
