and then I thought of a technique I hadn't used for a while- bleaching and then re-adding color. I hope no one minds but I put the sketch on its side.
Inks: Black Stazon, Soft Suede, Markers (Basic Gray, Real Red)
Papers: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Elegant Soiree Designer Paper, Marina Mist
Accessories: Square Lattice embossing folder, Texturz Plate (background), Eyelets, Twine, 3/4 X 15/16" punch, bleach, dimensionals
The image was stamped with Black Stazon on Marina Mist card stock. Using a small paint brush I applied ordinary household bleach to the sails only. When the paper was dry, I applied some basic gray using a marker and Aqua Painter for a shading effect.
Here is a close up view of the twine and sailor's knot. You also have a better view of the bleaching effect on the sails.

This is a great card and love the bleach technique. Thanks for the chance to win a pass to the inteactive blog. The title sounds fun!
Stunning card! anitamocha at charter dot net
Great card! I've used the Texturz plate that you used to look like woodgrain, but you've made it look kind of like waves in the background. The bleaching is interesting. That's something I haven't tried yet, but I always like the look when I see it. stampin_sue@nc.rr.com

Thanks for playing with us at Unscripted Sketches. This is a STUNNING creation using sketch 106! I love this and I would give this to my dad for Father's Day. Thanks for sharing the bleaching technique, too - I'll have to give it a try : ) Susan
