You should have arrived from Sharri Seffins blog. I am quite sure that she wowed you!
I had a real hard time with this photo - not sure why because once I got a pep talk from Karen the card just flew together! I focused on the colors and the boats. I created the background using some distress inks on a pad then spritzing it with water before plopping my GKD Pure Luxury Ivory card stock on it. The boat and cattails were colored with the same distress inks and some pen nubs. I backed the stamped image with some GKD Chocolate brown squares and stamped the sentiment (GKD - Whimsical Wishes) just above the boat. Great masculine birthday card I think. The bow was the final touch. Now hop on over to visit Melissa Shultz! I am sure she has some inspiration for you as well.
