Wishing You Sunny Days

 Hello and happy Sunday afternoon,

I have my card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I've combined a SSS die with a greeting from Hero Arts and some bright ink blending to make a sunset card. 

I marked off the box for ink blending with some GKD Masking Magic strips then used orange, bright pink and dark blue ink to make my sunset. Using the SSS Radiant die, I cut the shape and then added the greeting. After trimming the panel down a bit, I added some gold glimmer paper behind the cutout and used foam tape to pop it up on the card base. I added some gold gems for a little extra sparkle.

I like these good well greetings and graphic images in the SSS Hello Sunshine set. I used them to sort of mimic the card front.

We've had no sunsets, just gloom, for more than a month, but on Friday the marine layer thinned out in the late afternoon and cleared out at the horizon in the late evening, and I got a good snap of the actual sunset. Unfortunately, we're back to total gloom😏

Enjoy your Sunday evening!

Colleen
