For today's project, I turned back to my distress inks. I am slowly trying to teach myself how to blend the colors together and I wanted to enter this into Pause Dream Enjoy's #27 challenge entitled: Sunset.
For this card I mixed 6 different colors: The sky was a combination of Antique Linen and Rusty Hinge to create that sunset palate. I placed a circular piece of paper temporarily on the card for the sun as I applied the orangey Rusty Hinge. I tried keeping the indent very faint. I used Inkadinkado flower stamps for the bottom and although I used Victorian Velvet and Vintage Photo for the flowers themselves, I blended Peeled Paint in the background for that greenery feel. For the sentiment and the butterfly, I used Black Soot to top it off.
I'm actually really proud of this card and I'm looking into getting some lighter shades of inks so I can experiment some more.
So if you have a card with a sunset or just the colors that are associated with a sunset, be sure to visit Janis and the rest of her DT at Pause Dream Enjoy!
And while you're at it, have you entered my give-away? Only two days left!!
Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Below is a card I made for my Daddy-o, the bestest Navy Veteran I know. My father also likes to paint (I come from creative stock!) and his favorite pictures to make are ocean landscapes. While this is a far cry from the lovely pictures he makes for me, I thought I'd give the nautical theme a crack.
For the background, I turned to my trusty Tim Holtz distress inks. The bottom blue is Broken China and for the sky, I blended yellowish Antique Linen with pinkish Tattered Rose. The waves were cut from my Life is a Beach Cricut cartridge and I used worn looking card stock to give them a rougher look. The sail boat and sentiment were from the dollar stamp rack at Michael's (Oh, how I ADORE that rack!) My Daddy ended up loving it. =)
Have you entered my GIVE-AWAY yet? $25 bucks from Michael's can be yours! That's $25 bucks worth of stamps right there =)
Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!
