AAA Cards Clean and Simple Challenge #158

Have you ever found a design or card style that really inspired you?  I am having a really fun time creating clean and simple designs lately.  I'm joining the AAA Cards challenge again today with a One Third CAS design.  The stamp is an older wood mounted Stampendous design called Beachfront Boat.

I started the card by masking a narrow area of the card base then sponging various inks for the sky, water and sand.  I then stamped the image using VersaFine Clair ink.  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up and the star is from my stash.

This card will be going to my sister for her birthday next week.  It was inspired by our recent cruise together to the Caribbean.   We had a great time and the beaches were beautiful!
