This is for this week's IC, when I looked at the ornament I thought, "how cute, there are sailboats on that ornament!!' I did not see trees at all till I went to the gallery and looked at other cards for the challenge!
So going with the thinking of first thought best thought, I got out the set Schooner and cuttled the swirly background and went with my sailboat inspiration. The cuttled piece is watercolored with turqupise reinkers to make the white pop, and I used some star brads from my newly reorganized embellishment stash. TFL and Happy Sailing!!

I really like your take on the IC. I had to go back and look at the picture but I do see the sails instead of trees - thanks for sharing a totally different take!

I had to go back and look and yup...I see sailboats too and I also see zig zags so the pinking scissors would look great around a border...why didn't you tell me this before I created! Nancy this is a good masculine card and nice take on the chalellnge.
