I think this will be the thank you card I send out for gifts received at Christmas.
Recipe: On Whisper White CS I masked off the center section with two pieces of post it notes. Brayered Chocolate Chip on and sponged some black along the bottom of the Chocolate Chip. Took post it notes off. Put one back on to cover up the chocolate chip and brayered on Barely Banana along the horizon. Working from top down, brayered on Soft Sky, Blue Bayou and just a tad of Not Quite Navy for the sky. Removed post it note.
Working from Bottom up, brayered on Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Not Quite Navy and a tad of Night of Navy for the water.
Stamp just one of the trees from the Lovely as a Tree stamp by coloring the stamp with a Black SU marker, huffing on it and then stamping it. Used the black marker again to create the shadow under the tree.
Used the shorter stem from the PaperTreyink set Green Thumb to create the waves in the water using White Craft, Soft Sky, Not Quite Navy. TFL

This card is spectacular. It has such a calming feel. And your use of color to give the feel of the sun peeking/setting on the horizon is great. I was reading to figure out how you did the water, and was surprised to find it is not dimensional. It sure looks 3-D. TFS

Oh My GOODNESS, What is it that I can get you for Christmas? (big wink) Your card is spectacular and beautiful.. The background so serene and I also like the way you put the wave at the bottom. Beautiful.
