Thinking of you, Silhouette Sunset

Hi everyone!

Hope you had a nice weekend!

I really fancied having a go at this weeks colour challenge at Less is More which is Sunset!

I had this idea straight away to use this silhouette stamp and colour a sunset background




I used:

Indigo Blu Silhouette Stamp
Clearly Besotted Butterfly Stamp
Sentiment stamp and gems from stash
Scallop scissors for the frame

I coloured the sunset and butterflies using Promarkers & Flexmarkers



I did a Google search for sunsets first to copy the sky's colours


I really like how the sunset turned out! And I do struggle with very CAS cards and resisting pretty papers and embellishments but I'm quite happy with this one!




Thanks for popping by :-)

Lucy xx

    Beautiful artwork Lucy, yo have captured the impression of a sunset perfectly and the way you have centralised the stamped panel makes for a very eye catching creation.

    It's lovely to see you at Penny Black and More challenge, thanks so much for joining in with your lovely card.

    Wow Mrs, this is super fab!!!! I am sooo super impressed that you coloured this with promarkers. It looks totally fab. When you are feeling well enough you could do a step by step tutorial for your blog and share your brilliance. I had never even thought of trying to get this effect with pens - I've tried with distress ink pads and made a super old pig's ear ;-) Did I mention that I think the card is beautiful? Ahh, you cheered me up. Sending hugs, Jayne xxx
