Cattails and Sailboat

 Hello, Stampers! Today's card will be going out to a young man, who was injured in a car accident recently, so I wanted to make a card that was both masculine, yet peaceful and uplifting.

To start, I masked off the top where I wanted the sky, using a sticky note. Then I sponged Memento Summer Sky. 

Sponged Memento Danube Blue. 

Then I sponged Memento Bamboo Leaves, from the bottom. 

Sponged Memento Rich Cocoa. 

I removed the mask and sponged Memento Summer Sky from the top edge. 

Then sponged Memento Danube Blue.

I stamped the cattails, from Life is Good, twice, using Memento Tuxedo Black. 

I stamped the wavy grass, from Fanciful Fall, several times, using Memento Bamboo Leaves.

Stamped the sailboat, from Aloha, using Memento Tuxedo Black. 

I added some ripples using an opaque white gel pen and shadow to the boat, using my C3 Copic marker. 

I layered with Pure Luxury In The Navy and used a Baby Boy Blue card base.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a fantastic day!
