CC504,MMTPT328 bensarmom

Photo Details

Poster: bensarmom

This is for two challenges. The first is the color challenge this week. No dessert for me. The second is for the Teapot Challenge. This card will be sent to an elderly gentleman named Erie who is very depressed at being moved to a nursing facility. I'm praying this lifts his spirits a bit.
I drew a horizon line with the ink pad then sponged the morning sky with coral and cantaloupe. I stamped the birds then I added bashful blue for the water.
I stamped the words in a darker color so Ernie would be able to read this and hopefully believe it.
Praying for you Ernie.

Such a peaceful, serene card for Ernie.

I love your morning beach scene.

What a masterpiece with one of my favourite stamps! I love the way you formed the shoreline and your light hand with the inking. This really evokes that early morning or end of day light wonderfully. Great card and into my favourites. TFS

These colors work perfectly with your scene which makes for a very calming card. I am sure Ernie will be so pleased to receive it.

Love the scene you devised for the card! I never considered stamping the birds twice.

This is a lovely, restful card, perfect for a gentleman. I, too, hope it lifts his spirits and helps him settle into his new home.
