On Guard Oberto!

I made this card using the Project Of The Month Stamps for August, from High Hopes Stamps, My favorite stamp company :) .  For the month of August, this set is on sale at 25% off! 
I felt like putting Oberto on a dock, so I drew that in after I stamped him.  I drew the hilly land and the horizon line too.  The ships wheel, parrot, Oberto and "Ahoy", and treasure map are the stamps I used.
  I stamped and drew on watercolor paper.  Then I colored using Tombow pens and spread the color with water on a watercolor brush. Simple!

    I think I'll take up clay pigeon shooting or something. If I live to be a 100 I'll never produce anything approaching this standard. SIMPLE!!! No pet, MY cards are simple. LOL
