I printed the image on some white card stock and sponged the sky using Tumbled Glass distress ink. The water was also sponged using Bashful Blue and Brocade Blue from SU. I attempted to give the sails a little color with Antique Linen distress ink but think maybe gave them too much. Next time I won't do that. The Marina Mist back was embossed with a folder from SU. As always, there are things I'd do different next time when making this card - but then that's usually the way it is with most of my creations. Maybe that just makes me pretty normal!
I'll enter this in the Sweet Stampin Challenge (Masculine).
Thanks again for all the well wishes - hubby is doing pretty good I guess and I haven't completely lost all patience (a think I have a smidgen left anyway).
Thanks for stopping by..............and have a wonderful weekend.

Sooooo cooooool and refreshing, Lynn. Love the image and the way you have done the water and the clouds is AMAZING. The embossed paper looks great and the antique linen colour makes it look rugged. Looks rather nice and gives it character, you know.

Oh my, Lynn, I love everything about this. It's such a soft, serene and peaceful card - I can almost hear the subtle wind through the sails when I stare at this. LOVE the soft coloring and the blue is the perfect shade - and the twine is just enough to give it that lil something extra - GORGEOUS all around! Have a fabby weekend!
Wow - what a gorgeous image!!! And a freebie!! I think the sails look great!! And your sky is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I still haven't mastered the cloud technique. Have to practice more.
Glad you and your hubby are doing well :)

This is just FABULOUS!!! I had to go check out the link and I saw this card there again! You've done a wonderful job with this image, what a gorgeous card!!!
The first thing I noticed was this gorgeous detailed image. Then I saw your incredible sea and sky! WOW!!! This is fabulous and I think leaving the sails white would have left them blending into the clouds. I like the shading! Glad things are going well w/ Hubby and will keep both of you in my prayers!
