We spent part of last week up along Lake Superior, near Lutsen, MN. I grew up in Duluth and there is nothing like going to sleep and waking up to the sound of waves crashing on the shore. Next best is a sunrise coming up over the lake. Luckily, I'm an early enough riser that I enjoyed a couple of those too. The sunrise over the lake was the inspiration for my first "Zindorf style" card. Though I do love using the brayer, this card was done with just sponging.
It really helped to add the white gel pen to help catch the light on the lake though I need to use a lighter hand with this. There are other improvements I could make as well. But, alas my stamping time seems too short - I need to move on to some of the other ideas. And, I'll never match the real thing!
This card features a new Stampin' Up! set, Nature's Sillouettes, Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Cameo Coral and just a touch of Only Orange. I used the grass from Inspired by Nature to lend some texture to the background layer.
