Seagull and String

 Morning and June already longest day 21st of this month! I have tw DT posts today -the 1st one is for the Mens/Boys challenge at Scrapping4fun.

I used a stamp from Crafty Individuals,coloured with promarkers, stamped the sign post onto kraft and paper pieced.Added a piece of string recycled from a clothes label,distressed round the edges with oxide ink and a piece of bubble wrap.Then glued onto a background I made scoring and swiping with distress inks.Grunged round the edges with distress ink and bubble wrap.
