Let's Sail Away and Waves of Inspiration

This is a card I made using two sets. I was just playing around and made the wave Tahitian Tide ink. I then added the Pretty Peacock ink which is not the color of the ocean, but I went with it. I blended the Tahitian Tide with the Blending Brush. I used the Stamparatus to ink up the sailboat. I made a template for the clouds using the Basic Borders Dies, so I was just playing around. Even my birds are flying in the wrong direction so this is my first attempt at what I had in my head. Hopefully, my sailboat gets away from the big strong wave.
