Summer Peace

Photo Details

Poster: YoursTruly

Not going to the beach this year so I'll settle for beach/water scenes. I loved this card and have been wanting to do a similar water and sky scene. I sponged the sky and for the water I dragged Blissful blue across. I white embossed the sailboat and drew a thin black line along one side of the image to anchor it down a bit. Not too happy with my sailboat - look too cartoonish but oh well...

This was for several challenges (love it when it works for a few!)

What a beautiful, serene scene. I don't think the boat looks cartoonish at all, I love the effect of the white embossing. Your sunset is simply gorgeous.

A lovely one layer scene! I don't think your sailboat is too cartoonish. Very appropriate in my eyes and we are our own worst critic!
