I designed this card for the SUO challenge  celebrating Summer.  What better way to celebrate Summer than boating on the water.

The Stamp Set I used is “Sailing Home”, pg 31.  I used our watercolor paper, pg 153, and created a wash for the sky with our new in color Misty Moonlight.  For the ocean, I used Pool party, Just Jade, and seaside spray.  The birds are stamped in Pacific Point.

I created the white waves with our White Craft ink by pouring some of it into a small plate and using the aqua painter to fill in the waves.  I then added more water to the brush to add splatters to the sea.  If you are going to try this, make sure your brush is very wet so it doesn’t ruin your aqua painter, or you can use an old paint brush.  The sand is painted with Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake, also with the aqua painter.  The sail boat is also crumb cake.  The base card is Just Jade.

Hope y’all like this card.  Love to hear what y’all think about it.  Just click on the comment above and let me know.  You can buy these items here.
