Sunset Silhouettes

Today my card is for five challenges

First is Try Stampin' on Tuesday with this sketch,

secondly is Less is More with this photo for colour inspirations,

third is Make My Monday who want
  SILHOUETTES

fourth is Stampin' Royalty who want us to USE SMALL SCRAPS

and lastly, but no means least, Addicted to Stamps want us to MAKE YOUR MARK using markers.

Here is my card

I started by sponging four colours across a circle of white card with a Post It note masking where the sun would be. (I scribble my SU Write Markers onto my acrylic block to make it easier to pick up the ink with a sponge). The mask was removed and the silhouette flowers and birds were stamped over the sponged sunset. This was mounted on a recycled brown scallop circle, and scraps of cards made into the banners and butterfly. The finishing touches were the sentiment and gem on the butterfly body.

Supplies :

Card = Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Apricot Appeal, Whisper White, and Ivory base FMS

Stamps = Upsy Daisy, Papillon Potpourri, Clarity, and Docrafts

Inks = Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Apricot Appeal, Sahara Sand, and Soft Suede

Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, Post It, Sponges, Elegant and Bitty Butterfly Punches

Extras = 3D Pads and Gems

I have enjoyed playing about today, with my brayer and sponges, to make the sunset sky, but I preferred the sponging result ( I cant show you the brayered result as it's on the reverse of the sponged sky, and I forgot to photograph it before sticking it down!)

Thanks for dropping by and hope you can call back again soon.
