It's certainly sailing weather here today - I think Spring may finally be here in my little part of the world - we have glorious blue sky and warm sunshine.I have had friends with me for a few days and the house is really quiet now they've gone home! One of them remarked that my poor husband must think he has now gone deaf!
Used a stamp set purchased a little while ago that has never seen ink until now.
This was a simple card really.
Done on watercolour card and after stamping the lighthouse and boat, I simply masked and then sponged and painted.
I used Distress Inks - Salty Ocean for the sea, Tumbled Glass for the sky and Squeezed Lemonade for the sun, then watercoloured the cliffs, grass and boat with watercolour paints.
Some birds and the sentiment (which I really like!) and job done!
This has now been put in the 'man stash' section of my card box.
It didn't take too long to do either - I never do enough male themed cards and need to improve this!

This pretty little scene is so atmospheric Viv and I adore the lighthouse and sweet little boat and all beautifully coloured, and the sentiment is just great. I do remember when Jacques Cousteau and his wife were on the tv diving and us seeing all the beautiful fish and corals etc., it must have been in the sixties...ooh dear, makes me feel old..lol. x
ReplyDeleteSuper little scene and as Pat says, very atmospheric.

ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card, Viv! I love the lighthouse and the wonderful scene you've created. The texture of the watercolour paper adds to the artistry.
