Really inspired me. It was an inspiration card challenge to start with and so I just let it inspire me all day long.
I got thinking that the colours were like a sunrise/sunset sort of palette and decided to make a card based on that but with some twists.
I stamped the compass image from Stampers Anonymous first in black and masked it off. Then I stamped the skyscape from Stampendous. Last I stamped the images from Pocket Silhouettes in the foreground and roughly masked off the waterline.
I wanted to take the idea from my previous horse card and go a little farther with it on this card.
I cleaned the compass stamp off and inked it in yellow, red and blue Tombow ink all at once, spritzed and stamped it three times from one inking – center first and then L and R.
I removed the waterline mask and reinked with my marker, spritzed, stamped off and then stamped 3 times again in the water area of my image.
I used my watercolour brush and water to bleed the marker images together in both the sky and the water and added more blue in both areas where I thought it was needed.
Then I mounted it on black and onto white.
This was a great stamping day for me and I feel like I let the art of it take a hold of me and just go and IÂ’m pleased with the results.
Thanks for looking and hope you like my card.
Thanks MyPrecious for choosing such a great featured stamper.
And especially thanks to Kelly_H for providing such terrific inspiration.

Oh my! Another dreamy card and you've truely captured the essence (again) of that 'dreamy' feeling. I can't quite place my finger on what it is that does the trick! But I love this one too and the feeling it conveys.
