Tranquility at its best.
Teal and Kraft Card and Espresso and Ocean tides ink pads, button and twine and twill tape a bit of blending, a boat scene stamp, Nestabilities label dies an argyle embossing folder and a water brush all helped to make this card.
Most of the image was water coloured but for those eagle eyed amongst you, you will see the edging to the Argyle Embossed Kraft card and the shading below the boats, this was both done with Promarkers.
The Boat scene stamp has no maker on the side of it, it was bought a few years ago at a craft fair. The other stamps (Compass and round swirls ) are from the Father Knows best stamp set by PTI.
If you would like this card leave me a comment and I'll do a draw for it.
Как красиво! Впервые вижу такую красивую, тёплую открытку на морскую тему!

The boat scene reminds me of the old days before our family immigrated to Canada. My husband used to go fishing when the weather was good, only the two of us, when we didn't have any child yet. sitting near the rocky beach, we did fishing, life was claim and peaceful, it seemed that we were not in need of anything.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely memory it brings to mind. Thank you for that little piece.
Ah, so beautiful.
