Black, White and One other Colour

Found this challenge over at Robyns Fetish Challenge Blog, loved the idea of just using three colours.  In the end I kept it very simple and the only colour I added was cream, which I used to colour the sails.  The lovely ship is from Beyond the Fringe crafts called Tallship.  I printed the tall ship and the Happy Birthday straight onto a white card blank.  The front of the card is trimmed back to reveal a small black border on the inside of the card (you can't really see it in the picture) and matches the black strip on the other side of the ship.  Once printed I put the card into an embossing machine, but only a little bit to get some texture for choppy water, then distressed the embossing with black chalk.  I then coloured the sails with Derwent pencils.  My card is Black, White and Cream.
