Troubled Skies at Craft a Scene

It is the first Sunday in November and time for a new challenge at Craft a Scene. The theme this Month is Troubled Skies and I have been learning how to use my Cumulus stamp (Stampscapes) with a bit of help from Kevin on You Tube. The rest of the scene was created with my Inkylicious stamps - the Seascape Memories and Essential Grasses plates. I used a range of Adirondack inks and my ink dusters to create the background, then added a bit more detail with my distress markers, including the Picket fence one on the light house. I was feeling a bit worried about this theme, but I am quite pleased with my results.
Pop over to the challenge blog to check out the rest of the DT's creations and find details of the challenge.
Thanks for looking!

    Sally, I am not sure why you were worried about this theme (although I was too), you have produced a stunning card. It makes me think of a cold, windy, stormy evening on the coast of Norfolk. I love it. xx Maggie

    Your waves & your sky are brilliant - & I love the way you created the cetnral section like a path leading down towards the seashore - you've captrued the breaking water beatifullt there. The corrgutaed kraft card makes this so atmospheric too & I love the way you mounted the image panel with the deep blue & goldie (possibly kraft??) coloured edging. Your gems echo the soft colours of the ocean too & there's some lovely detail in this creation.

    Wow Sally, that sky definitely looks troubled and rather ominous I think. Fabulous scene and interpretation of the challenge theme.
