Our challenge this week for Sweet Stampin is Pirates/Nautical theme. I don't have any pirate type stamps and didn't really fancy doing a punch art card so went with the nautical theme. I decided to try the Retiform Technique as I haven't done that in a while and used two retired Stampin Up sets - High Tide and Wetlands.
For my inks I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Salty Ocean and SU Night of Navy. The retiform technique is quite fun as it can be different everytime you try it. There is a touch of glimmer on the water as I added some Glossy Accents to it to make it shimmer.
