Inspired by the sketch at Addicted to Stamps Challenges, I used stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs Happy Retirement set along with pattern paper from the KaiserCraft Tropicana Collection.
The image is stamped in Black Archival on a piece of pattern paper from KaiserCraft's Tropicana Collection, then colored with STAEDTLER Karat Aquarell Watercolor pencils. The edges of all papers are sponged with Chocolate Ink. To embellish I added a piece of Fish Netting.
