Viking In The Fjords

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the second of the month and time for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal with a new product and a new addiction for me LOL.   I am a big Waffle Flower fan, right back to their beginnings when their quirky and unique designs caught my eye.  Now unless you are living under a rock you have probably seen the postage collage die being use all over the place and that's Waffle Flower and well done them for coming up with such a hot item.  Always lovely to see the little companies getting big support.  I am lusting after the postage collage series, which is difficult to source this side of the pond and going like hotcakes, but perusing their other products the layered stencils caught my eye.  Particularly the scenes. So I took the plunge and paid really money (as opposed to waiting for a sale) for a few of their products including Moon Bay layered stencil set.  This is my first attempt and I judged it good enough to use on this card.  Love it.  Had to consult with my muse (Jo) for what to do, because quite honestly it's so pretty with nothing else, and how could I have missed the fjord opportunities???????.........  Remedied the problem by pulling out MFT's I Vike You set.  I have since found other Viking stamps so stay tunaed.......

Here's the card I sent to Arlene in California

I think the sky is more blue and less moody in the real but I was having trouble with my colour levels.  My viking kept going green! so you will just have to extrapolate.  I followed the sketch, which required a skewed panel, and I could have done that differently so the horizon was more horizont, but it's too late once the glue is dry isn't it.  I also used the colour options, with a few additions and stencils, friendship and men in hats.  OK, men in hats wasn't an option, but maybe it should be!!!!   A few MFT sentiments and baby dragon, cos every viking had a dragon you know and a few die cut birds to finish.
