I have used my (at the moment) favourite technique on Photoshop, which is layering and blending different pictures and textures. This one has a canvas base layer, then a picture which I took of the boating lake at West Kirby a few weeks ago, then a gradient layer, then a picture that I took of the Tall Ships leaving Liverpool in 2008, topped off with a layer of a "nautical" pattern.
I have made the easel from one of the A5 landscape card blanks I have in the shop at the moment, which I have inked with a mixture of Sea Breeze and Oasis Green Versamagic. The buttons I have had for years, and am now just finding a use for them (the lighthouse is a button too).![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR6wY89G5-NfVPzrsJ3aAa1UiAUPr1Do53a1LwphvSJdPr5KgMRsT1tJ-3cm1mPMrA4HDpJEvuJ88nhcSv6bfTClHmZxW5LbqQV8qBCQEjUtnSV7KWatSRlUqppTb2gJ_VvCTd8tBrzNdf/s320/nautical.jpg)

This is the picture, but when I printed it onto linen textured card, it toned down the colour.

That is a really pretty card!
