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

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
