Good Day for Sailing

Well not here in Indiana--a little too cold still. But I'm sure it is a good day for sailing somewhere.
I water colored background with SU Pool Party, Tempting Turquoise, Baked Brown Sugar. I had some strips of blue weathered board paper so cut them into pieces to resemble a fence. Stamped seaweed from SU Wetlands in the brown sugar. Punched cloud was sponged with some Basic Gray and a little Pool Party and popped up with foam tape. The sailboat is a very old stamp. I tried to go for the shadowy look so stamped it in Baked Brown Sugar after stamping off once. It was a little too dark so I painted some white over the sails. The sentiment is from The Angel Company. I had some die cut dragonflies laying on the desk so glued a couple of them on the seaweed. You may have to click on picture for a larger view to see the dragonflies.
I still wasn't sure about the sailboat so I tried the whole thing again and stamped the boat in Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. Which do you like better?

I am entering challenges at Just Us Girls

And CASology going for warm summer day as my weather inspiration.

  3. Love the calm seaside scene you have created. I think I like the more defined sailboat the best, although they are both great. Have a wonderful Easter.
