This week's CASology Cue Card is Relax!
It may surprise you (or not!) to know that I am one of those people who does not react well (at all) when I am told to "relax". Especially if the person telling me is my husband! lol! Don't worry, he knows better now!
I don't know if sailing is relaxing, in fact, it looks like pretty hard work to me, but I associate this card with 'relax' for two reasons:
1) all the white space and the cool calming colours, achieved with Copics;
2) I love Pierce Brosnan. And one of my favourite PB movies is "The Thomas Crown Affair", where Dennis Leary comments to Renee Russo that Thomas Crown "just trashed a hundred-thousand dollar boat because he wanted to feel the rush" (or something to that effect). I am always relaxed when I'm watching a movie with Pierce - Thomas Crown, James Bond, or After the Sunset are my favourites!
So now it's your turn to get all zen-like and make a Relaxing card.
Don't forget to check out the other members of the Design Team:
Love the way you have done the sea.
ReplyDeleteSailing IS relaxing but mostly because my husband does the work, with the kids as first mates, and I get to soak up the sun!! You've captured the peaceful feeling beautifully!
ReplyDeleteArdyth, I was going to say just what Karen said! Awesome water. I can feel the movement. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I dunno, that sea looks a bit choppy to me (anything other than millpond-flat is choppy!). PB could have the desired calming effect, though!
ReplyDeleteI like the telescope effect of the frame and the cool colour scheme.
It's a beautifully executed and colored card, Ardyth! The framed circle is perfect with the image!
ReplyDeleteaahh... your lovely scene is so relaxing ardyth!
ReplyDeleteTake me away Ardyth. Your sailboat in perfect for this week's cue.

This is beautiful. Great image - love the colors. I can almost hear the seagulls!
ReplyDeleteLove the negative die cut with the sailboat in the background ~ great coloring ~ and yes, it does look relaxing!
ReplyDeleteOh Ardyth, this is a lovely card. I would love to be sailing in the beautiful open sea :)
ReplyDeleteVery relaxing card. The soft colours are perfect and I love the shading on the sail. x
ReplyDeleteVery nice card! I love sailing/ boating. I find it relaxing because whoever I have gone with does all the work while I just sit back, or lay back,and enjoy. Ahhhhhh. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the way you framed this - it's like looking through a ship's porthole. So perfect!
ReplyDeleteArdyth, just looking at this water calms me..what a great job. I wouldn't mind being there irl..right now! Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I am a Pierce Brosnan fan, also. :-)
