Lilypad Lake Sail boats on a Choppy Lake

Anyone who owns a sail boat is itching to get on the water and go for a sail.  However, the month of May this year has been anything but cooperative, with record low temperatures, even snow flurries. Despite that some brave souls do venture out for a sail,

 The card front is in 3 layers. In order to create the matted frame look, the top 2 layers are die cut with the Stitched Rectangle dies, the Whisper White layer smaller than the Balmy Blue layer.

The scene is created on the 3rd layer, which has the same dimensions as the first two layers.

The sun was masked out while a brayer was used to colour the sky and water - the sky in Balmy Blue, the water in Pool Party with some Pacific Point ink.  After the mask was removed, the sun was coloured with Daffodil Delight ink, after which a wind cloud was created covering part of the sun and sky.

Some Pacific Point ink was applied to the lake water using the water stamp.  Then I made the water look choppy by adding glitter embossing paste randomly over the water

After colouring the sail boats with Stampin' Blends, they were die cut using the Lakeside die. They were arranged on the lake as shown.

Once the 3 layers of the front were completed, they were added to a Balmy Blue card base and the bottom corners were decorated with die cut grass.
