A Penny Black Challenge: I found this one to be pretty smooth sailing -- a great sketch that I will enjoy using again. When I began this card, I recalled a favorite song of my mother's "Red Sails in the Sunset -- way out on the sea, please carry my loved one home safely to me...." Hence, we have the red sails glistening with crystal lacquer with just a sprinkle of glitter set against a chalked sunset. The perfect phrase "We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust our sails" is Penny Black, Sail boat, Stampscapes, birds are sizzlets. Blue background paper affixed to a glossy black 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card face. The challenge is to use the great sketch you see below and to employ at least one Penny Black phrase or image.
