Penny Black - Set Sail

Hi everyone.  I'm back using another stamp from the new Penny Black release, Dream & Discover.  This set is called Set Sail (30-842).

Very simple CAS card .... I know that's a double simple, but the card really is!

I placed a piece of temporary tape to create a horizon line on the right hand side of my card.  I sponged lightly with distress inks - Mustard Seed and Salty Ocean.  The boat is stamped in black ink, heat embossed in clear, and fussy-cut.  I watercoloured the image using Zig markers, which are very vibrant.

To finish, I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in black ink.

Close-up ...
I'm sharing this card over at CAS on Friday Challenge #209 - Sunshine. :)  Perfect challenge for this time of year.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

Love the card. My dream vacation was on a sailboat trip for two weeks, but, sigh, it was many years ago.

I love this CAS card Loll with the ink blended blue and yellow tones for the sea and sunny background, and then the sweet black heat embossed sailboat coloured beautifully with your zigs in similar colours, and love the simple one word sentiment to finish. x

You have me dreaming of being near the water, Lolly! Love how you've sponged the background and the vivid colors of the sailboat!

Sailing in this beautiful sailboard with the sun shining is a dream. I wonder if you get on the sailboat from that cute little boathouse in the previous post?

This is a very CAS card Loll, but it is so eye catching and beautiful. You can almost feel the ocean breeze, feel the sun, and hear the gulls. lol I really love this card! Hugs, Brenda
