More Magenta


Hi everyone.  Today I'm entering a second card into the STAMPlorations May CAS Challenge.  I used the optional twist of Magenta.



I haven't done a sponged sunset for a long time ... it was fun to get my fingers inky! :)

I sponged distress inks for my background (squeezed lemonade, ripe persimmon, and picked raspberry topped with wilted violet to get my magenta colour).  Then I sprayed with water to add some visual texture.  Love how it turned out.

I stamped two trees in black ink and then added a die-cut curve at the bottom that I got from my good friend Hazel.  Thanks Hazel!

The sentiment is heat embossed in white to finish things off.

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit!

Edited to add:  I'm heading over to join the fun at ATCAS Challenge #88 - code word: Midnight.  Thanks to Barb for letting me know! :)

    Stunning sky at sunrise. I know this view, sometimes when I returned after a night shift home from work. Wonderfully you gave the brilliance of the awakening of the day. I love this card! I need to print this card to every day enjoy it eyes :-)

    That background is really stunning behind the silhouette image. And the white sentiment looks great.
