Today's card was inspired by several challenges: colors, sketch and two word prompts.
To begin with I pulled out all my seaside / sailing / coastal stamps. They aren't many as I live in the inland and sailing - or seaside - is not what you know. I also pulled out some sheets of my gelli prints. I also thought I could do something with twine.
I started by selecting my stamps: three fish from one set, a sailing boat, and the weather rose from another set. One set had a stamp of expertly tied rope and that gave me an idea for the twine. It was too thick and short however, so I changed it to linen (which also goes well with the intended color scheme).
The included sentiment seemed apt. I selected a fitting gelli print for the sea and another, lighter one for the sky.
I am entering this in these lovely challenges:
TSOT: Challenge #701
The Paper Players: #PP798 color challenge
Dragonfly Dreams: Beach or Seaside
Cardz 4 Galz: #282 Blue skies
