High Tide Sunset

Good morning...hope all is well today! I'm off to work this morning, but before I go I have a project I'd like to share with you!

I've been playing with the High Tide stamp set. It's such a GREAT set. It's a perfect set for encouraging and masculine cards. My inspiration for this card was a photo I saw of a beautiful sunset. It didn't turn out exactly like the photo, but I love it! It was a fun challenge for me! To create this look, I inked my block in Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point and Pool Party. I spritzed it with water and stamped onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I stamped the sun using the solid balloon from the Celebrate Today stamp set. I only inked half of it with Daffodil Delight and stamped it just above the water. Next I inked up my clear block again, this time with Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie and a bit of Daffodil Delight, spritzed it with water and stamped the sunset, leaving just a bit of room at the top to add some blue sky.  For that bit of blue sky, I just inked my block one more time with Pool Party and a touch of Pacific Point, spritzed and stamped that little space at the top! After the paper had dried, (just a few minutes) I used my High Tide stamp set to stamp the sand and birds in Memento Black as well as the waves in the water with Bermuda Bay ink. 

Here's the sunset that inspired me!  I LOVE those vibrant colors! I'm gonna do some more playing...I'll keep you posted! 

Well...that's it for today!  Have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!  As ALWAYS...thank you for stopping by!
