This is my card for the alphabet challenge and I am trying to catch up. This was last week's challenge, to feature the letter Z. I looked up the meaning of the word Zephyr and it means soft breezes or west wind. So my sailboat is called Zephyr. I knew someone who named his yacht Zephyr. That's where I got this idea. However when I picked up the stamp set, the sailboat was missing. I stamped the palm trees, and part of that stamp was the sun. I coloured the sunset scene with copics and Tombo markers. I cut a slit into the water to insert the sailboat sticker that I found. I ink distressed the edges with of both squares with dark blue. The background striped paper is by SU. The lower cross panel was edge punched and the sentiment was die cut. I laid the seashell beads on this card for the photo. They are rather thick, so if I send this out in the mail, I won't adhere them, but if I deliver it in person, I will adhere them.

Great job doing three challenges in one card! It looks great. How clever are you to substitute a sticker for a missing stamp. Creative way to get your Zephyr sailboat. The scene looks fabulous. I like the striped background paper. Very nicely done! TFS

Well done on finding the perfect sticker to replace the AWOL stamp, Ina. What a great peaceful scene you created. You're making me think of Zephyr the monkey in the Babar books, though I do know from my Greek mythology that it was originally a wind.

Oh Ina, this is just stunning. The colors are so vivid and your sky...wow it is so beautiful. And those zephyr winds are pushing that sailboat along nicely. Perfect Z card my friend!!
