Kayaking is a favorite vacation activity of mine, but I don't have a kayak stamp so I went with a canoe. The image is black embossed on a white snippet. Various distress inks were sponged on to create a glowing sunset, then the image was cut out with a stitched circle die, The sentiment is white embossed on a dark blue snippet cut to fit on a card. Because of the simple, peaceful image, I decided to keep the card very clean and simple. (I considered adding sequins in the upper right, but they just didn't look appropriate.)

This is a striking card and so glad you didn't add sequins. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for our August Challenge to either dry or wet emboss.
