Loved the sunset on the Inspiration site Grandin Rd here:http://www.grandinroad.com/quiet-tim...all-art/505371
I masked the moon and sponged the sky, then used a reverse mask to lightly sponge in a little softer color ink and stamp the bird in (MIX68: motise masking).
Masking the sky, I used the direct to paper technique, swiping the ink pad straight across the paper, to achieve the water effect...I love how that leaves lots of gaps that look like ripples.
After stamping the birds & the jetty (F4A - a recent purchase) and the greeting, I used a distress marker to darken water areas around the jetty and a white gel pen to add highlights.

Beautiful card depicting a calm seaside scene. Love how you interpreted the canvas to create your scene with the wading bird and old beach pier. Lovely sunset colors.

Cindy you are AMAZING! I don't know how you do it but your creations are always such a unique combination of inking and stamping that just seem REAL to me! Love it!
