I chose sketch SC565, but I flipped it upside down. On the main panel I roughly estimated where I wanted the sky, water, and ground and then sponged some gray, marina mist combined with indigo for the water, and marina mist only for the sky. To make the "white caps" I used a stiff bristle brush to dab white pigment ink on the water. Stamped and die cut the lighthouse, and did some sponging on the other die cuts. To give the sand (or rocks) some texture I stamped a texture stamp in gray over the gray sponging. Die cut the snowdrifts die, assembled and popped up this whole panel with dimensionals - very happy with how it turned out! I think it could work for a guy or a gal - always a plus in my book!
Wow! This is terrific! Love how the snowdrift die looks like a representation of an ocean breeze! Also I really like all the birds and extra details to give your card texture.
