Today's Colors:Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lost Lagoon. Dessert:Add 2 more colors.
I started by creating a rectangle mask then a second one to mask off the sky/water and proceeded to sponge on color using a lighter touch for the sky. After stamping my sailboats, I used blends to color them then popped them up. Smoky Slate was used for part of the sails and black for stamping the boats and seagulls.The sentiment is on pop dots.
This card is for my DGS, Alexander, who lives in Virginia Beach & graduates from high school next month. Inside: Set sail in the direction of your dreams. I also added an anchor with baker's twine as the "chain". Thanks for stopping by today! ~Roberta

Fabulous masculine card and perfect for graduation with the inside sentiment. Love how you masked off to create the sky and water. The stamped birds add nice depth. Great ideas for the challenge colors!

Roberta, your cards are always such a delight to see in the gallery. I love the way you masked off to give a white border, and then masked again for the sea and sky. The sailboats are wonderful. Congrats to your grandson! Perfect sentiment inside!
