Next to September and October, May and June have the most birthdays in my families. Today's card is for my father-in-law.
The printed paper is BasicGrey Olivier layered on Stampin' Up Old Olive. The image is Gina K Follow Your Dreams stamped in Timber Brown StazOn on Very Vanilla, coloured with Rebhan watercolour paints and layered on Night of Navy. The sentiment is Gina K Pleasant Plurals also stamped in Timber Brown on Very Vanilla and layered on Night of Navy. The embellishments are of unknown origin but likely Multicrafts.
I really like this card. I've been itching to use this image but, as usual, shied away from it because I'd have to colour it. The watercolour paints I used are around thirty years old and worked beautifully. I'm glad I kept them. This card is really pretty simple but I wanted the focus to really be on the boat. My in-laws live in Prince Edward Island so this boat is a nod to the Island.
I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Kind of funny how birthdays can kind of "bunch up!" February is a busy month for me:) Love the card for your father-in-law and I'm sure he'll love it, too! Very special.
