Love the simplicity of the card. You were so right in keeping the focus on the image. Sometimes our cards get too busy and it can be overwhelming.
Gorgeous card, Dorcas! You have become the master of Prismacolor on Kraft in my book!The image is adorable and you did a wonderful job on the background. Love all the little details too. I can see why you're pleased with this one.

Hi Dorcas, What a stunning card, absolutly love it...What a gorgeous Mo image (and I love Mo's images!). the sketch and papers used + that banner are gorgeous.
Hope you don't mind me saying but I saw you had entered "Craft Room Challenge" and I thought I would go take a look. I couldn't see your gorgeous card entered!!
Just thought I would mention it. Debbiexx
Hi Dorcas. Fabby card. Great image of course, but just love your easel interpretation & the scene you have created for him.

Love the sea & sky Dorcas, very realistic - great job! ~ Jane
woooooow! I love it! Love the whole "sailor" theme and the way you soft-colored the background! so sweet!
Oh wow - your coloring is amazing! Gorgeous card!
P.S. I gave you a shout out for your fabulous coloring on my blog.
Wow love the scene you created with the clouds in the background. and even though I live at the beach it didn't happen to me either. haven't even stuck my toe in the sand yet...sad right. Anyway, love the card as always, loving how you are coloring on the kraft papers and how you kept this one so simple. It added so much to the card.
Hugs

Wonderful card, Dorcas! I love the beach scene you created and the cute sailor! Great coloring and details!
such a beautiful card, thanks so much for sharing with us at Clear It Out
Sooo adorable!!! This is my favourite from your last weeks´ cards! I love everything about it: the color-combo blue/yellow, the banner, the incredible perfection of your coloring and those cute charms!!
Oh, yes, I´d love to be at the beach now! Unfortunately we don´t have a summer this year - it´s always cloudy, rainy and most of the time too cold for summer :-(
Hugs,
Uli
whoa - I watch and learn! The way you have done the sky and sea is just SO cool!!
Hugs
Annika
Very Sweet card, thank you for sharing with is at Craft-Room Challenge and good luck in the draw XOXO Zoe
This is one of my favourite cards of yours Dorcas. I love the whole *nautical* feel of it. The color combo works so well together. I like how you have paper pierced this one....bet your sewing machine is feeling a little neglected. lol
Luv, Babs
absolutely fabulous coloring, Dorcas! love that banner, too. beautiful card!
Hey partner in crime! I am lovin' this card! Of course, you know how much I love your images colored in kraft paper! And this one is another stunner, m'dear!! Love the banners and charms and bakers twine! You nailed this, kiddo!! Hugs. Pat
Dorcas, this is just gorgeous I love this image and beautifully coloured- Thanks for joining us at craft Room Challenge- debi x
Your card is adorable. Love the way you made the scene. This image is wonderful on the kraft paper.
I always love your creations on Kraft but I think this one is my favorite so far. not to mention I have always loved this image :) It is just Perfect!!!!
Hello there :) When I read the challenge, I was expecting ducks. How are they? How is "difficult name" doing?
Was it difficult coloring sea on kraft? You should be pleased with this card, you are right, hih! Twine and decorations are in balance with the theme and dp and flags are sooooo good.
Hey darlin'! Yes, you have all the reasons to like the way this one turned out! You know I love this image, now I really have to include it in my next request from Peggy:) Love the way you did the sand around its feet, the waves and the foam; looks like a Monet to me:)
I would have let you know had I received the cards, no, unfortunately I think they have been lost. It's really such a pity. I wouldn't want you to waste your cards like this again; mine has arrived quicklier because hubby thought it was something urgent and sent it via some fancy courrier. But I haven't got a clue how long they take the normal way.
I shall inform at the post office and do another swatch. Just let me know of another card you want from my blog. I don't want you to send me one again without me doing the same. Hope this time we'll get them:)
Hugs and have a happy weekend!
Iulia
