Endeavour Morse Inspired

Hello Crafty Friends!

It's the start of a new challenge over at The Male Room challenge blog where the bi-weekly challenge is all about making cards for the men in our lives. Here is my DT project ...

Each challenge, of course, has a different theme. For challenge #78 we are looking for makes Inspired By Television. Lots of scope there!

#78 - Inspired by Television - 31st January

I went for a make inspired by my favourite 'whodunnit' Morse, taken out of its Oxford setting and transplanted into a nautical theme mainly due to his first name being Endeavour, Nelson's flagship.

What did I take from it ...
You got the dots and dashes for morse code plus some letters and numbers - Morse in his younger years was a code breaker during WWII.
The musical score is for his love of anything Classic especially Wagner.
The lighthouse stand for him being kind of beacon, he can't be corrupted and hasn't got much time for bent cops.
The compass, well ... he follows his inner compass solving crimes.

Apart from that, the card came together using stenciling, stamping, masking and some colouring using watercolour and alcohol markers.

Fancy creating your own Television Inspired make, pop over to The Male Room for more inspiration and to link up your masculine makes.

That's it from me for today
Have a lovely day!

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I am sharing a quick card with you using the Lighthouse - Large, the Uppercase Alphabet Plate Die and the Good Luck Word Stamp & Die set by STAMPlorations.

I went for a muted colour scheme mainly because I wanted to use the negative from the Alphabet Die in my card. I also didn't want to be precise with straight lines and purposefully cut some wonky lines, highlighted of course by some doodles.

Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog for more Roundup Inspiration.

That's it from me for today. Have a lovely week!
