Drifting

This is for the Ways to Use It challenge today on SCS. The challenge was to make a masculine card. My first thought was the Rubbernecker Gone Fishin collection and a row boat drifting in the water.  I stamped the boat, painted it with reinker and then sponged the blue water all around it.  I added the greener to create a focal point for a little in the distance and added trees and some hand sketched cattails.  I made the wooden dock by sketching with my artist pen, painting and cutting out.  I stamped a few cattails from the collection painted and cut them to be an embellishment for the front of the card. I added string and then added Diamond Glaze to the water to create the ripple and watery shine effect.  This was fun.  Too bad I have the boat drifting the wrong way from the dock. Of course, I am always having fun when I get to paint a tree or two.
