Simple Monochromatic Sailing

Sitting out on the aft deck and admiring the myriad of boat styles around us, it's significant to note that the most common colour for sails and hulls by far is...white. Often with a touch of blue, admittedly, and even the occasional smidge of burgundy, but above all else is white. Which is why I've been bemused when colouring stamped images on recent cards.

Of course, the reason why I've been colouring them is that they've usually been stamped on a white background and naturally white on white doesn't show up very well. Still, it's something that has had me pondering. Today I put action to those ponders and came up with a way for white sails and white hull to look more impactful, and here's the outcome.


Love the co-ordinates behind the yacht.

Materials used:

  • stamps - Sailing Home
  • card - basic grey, whisper white, Kaisercraft designer paper
  • other - stitched rectangle framelit, Big Shot, mounting tape, fine tip glue, white gel pen, Sahara sand marker

To quote Kath and Kim, "it's nice, it's different, it's unusual", lol. Thanks for sailing by.

Cheers
Kez
