The Great Outdoors

Happy Wednesday and Happy 4th of July!!  It's time for a new month of challenges from The House That Stamps Built.  This week is a Designer's Choice Challenge and I chose "The Great Outdoors" as our theme.  Here is the card I created:
This looks quick and easy, but man, does the sponging take me forever!  Love this image and I love using it as a silhouette like this for night time scenes.  It's so peaceful looking.  I hope you will get a chance to play along with us this week.  I can't wait to see what you do with my challenge.

    Beautiful card! I love the night-time sky you inked - it's the perfect backdrop for the lovely harbour silhouette. The scene is so calming, I can almost hear the lapping of the waves .... Gorgeous!
