SummerTime and The Livin' Is Easy

Good morning!

I have some nautical cards for you today!

I used the older sail boat and the new sail boat in the 4 in 1 Ocean Design I also

used the new birds in the 4 in 1 in the sky with favorite On My Mind

The dies are some older decorative dies from HC.

I use cord wrapped around the card top and bottom then used it to

 make a rope frame for my seascape.  I used a 1/2" glue dot to make a rope coil and glued 

it to the bottom right of the rope frame.  The sky was done sponging dye inks

 on in layers of orange and pink and then used a white pen to outline some and white pigment ink under the white lines.  I like the effect it had.  The water was also sponged after masking the boats and using post its for the horizon.  I used Brilliance Jade and Sky Blue. 

 I used the white pen to add some shimmer in the water.

This next card was done using a sketch challenge at SCS.

For the main image I used a lot of masking to create the land, water and masking the anchor which was stamped first.  I stamped the Anchor

and then used a square die to do an "out of the box" cut, turning it also to make a diamond shape.
I stamped the boat next and used masking tape torn to make the land masses.  I used a straight piece to form the horizon.  I masked the anchor and the boat then sponged the sea and the land.  Once I had the land I then stamped the lighthouse.  I sponged the sky then stamped the birds.
I thought the paper around the center image was a bit plain so I stamped the shells and the fish, colored them then fussy cut and glued to the red strips of cardstock.
That's about it!
Thanks for visiting today!
