Sailing

This card features the Japanese Fishing Boat image from the Taylored Stamps Marine Sheet 2. The Haiku by Issa is also on that sheet. The sailing image is layered over a "dragged" background. The background was made by tearing a piece of copy paper and dragging ink over it onto the base cardstock. Once a line has been inked, the copy paper is moved 1/2 inch and another line of ink is dragged onto the cardstock. The copy paper is moved and lines are dragged until the background is complete.

Doesn't the dragged cardstock look like the marks left in the sand after the tide goes out?
