I've water colored the bg, sketched the boat and made it an embroidery pattern, water colored the boat and sails, used a stencil to sponge the sun rays, stamped the French sentiment = thinking of you and the doves.

What a beautiful and peaceful cruise you have created for Erling. I would love to be sailing on the beauty with those sun rays all around. Your hand drawn boat and stitching are fabulous and what a wonderful memories for him of Dorothy. Beautiful card.

Oh, what a sweet sailboat you’ve created! Love all the sun’s rays and the flock of seagulls in the sky - very nice card, and the French sentiment is a lovely remembrance of Dorothy’s career as a French teacher!
