I have always found great peace near the sea. It quiets and comforts me and being ON the sea, especially in a sailboat, is a wonderful soul restoration.
This card was done by watercolor lift. I created a background on watercolor paper and then while it was wet, laid a stencil on the background. I let it dry completely and lifted the stencil.
I hope that Robin's family finds comfort in the days ahead.

Wow! What a gorgeous serene card this is with a wonderful quote on it. The sailboat is perfect for the scene you have created here- I can almost feel the wind in my hair now. I have never heard of this technique before and I am most impressed with the results you achieved here. Thanks for sharing this! ~Karen.

A beautiful card and I think your watercolor lift technique is super. I will have to try it. I agree that the ocean can be such a peaceful place.
