Yep - this is my favourite mode of transport for the journey to My Island Home. I hope the weather is like this - smooth sailing all the way with a lovely soft tropical breeze to get me there.
I again stamped this image using a Misti so that I could restamp to get a nice dark image and silhouette. I then coloured it with Derwent Inktense Pencils.
I think that will be it for today - no housework or work outside in the garden - but definitely not a day wasted I think.
Hope you can all make it to the dock to load up for the trip.
Thanks for looking.

Friends of ours had a wooden sailboat for a while and my husband used to sail with them occasionally. This gorgeous card brings back those memories. I love the silhouettes image but it is your amazing background that brings it to life Helen! I can see the boat moving forward towards the sunrise on another beautiful day on the water!

Oh, Helen, you and my DH would get along just fine! He's been in love with sailboats since he was a wee lad, and he had his own boat at age eight. He grew up on the north shore of Long Island, and they went out on the boat weekends and on vacation all the time. We used to have a boat here, but no longer. It's a joy to see this boat you love, and what a beautiful sky and ocean you've made! It's gorgeous! Big hugs!
