Seeing one of Ros Crawford's wonderful cards recently reminded me that I had the same old freebie stamp, a real favourite.
Here I stencilled yellow sunrays and stamped the silhouettes. The small seagull is part of the stamp and the large seagull is from another set. The sentiment is by Stampin Up.
You couldn't get a simpler card but it's taken me at least an hour-and-a-half. Just choosing a sentiment stamp took me ages. It's the faffing about that takes the time!

What a beautiful scene, love the sunbeams and the sweet and endearing silhouette of the dad walking on the beach with his little son.

Such a wonderful nautical card! I just might use this one as inspiration. :D Thank you for playing with us at Retro Rubber and hope you will join us again soon. (By the way, to clarify our requirement, the stamp must be one year old or older, not 5 years old.)
Oh, I agree - it is the faffing about that takes the time aka the thinking! What a fabulous card. The sunray backing for the silhouette and sentiment is really striking. It's a great clean design. Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber Challenge this week.
Gorgeous card, Marina. The silhouette looks lovely against the background. xx
You had me at the silhouettes...I LOVE this card! Such a simple idea (but I know what you mean about how long they take--crazy!) and yet a very striking little scene. Love it!!! Thanks for sharing this with us at Retro Rubber this week! Did I mention that I love this card?!! LOL!
Yes I so know what you mean about faffing about and choosing a sentiment...I do the same. Love the silhouette stamping and the glorious rays of sunshine x

Your card is perfection. I love a stenciled background with a black stamp over the top. Thanks for playing along at Retro Rubber this time. Claire DT
This turned out perfect with the stenciled sunrays, and everything else is in its right place.
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who agonizes over picking the right sentiment stamp to use. LOL! This is a gorgeous silhouette CAS card! Thanks for joining the fun at Shopping Our Stash!
This card is clean and simple perfection! The stamps look like they were made for those sunbeams! Thanks for playing along with CASology!
What a beautiful card, Jo x
