Cas Colours & Sketches challenge #156
Thank
you again CC&S for having me as a guest designer the whole month.
For my
card I made a panel narrower than the card base as the sketch indicates (two
grey borders, i left mine white)
For the
focal point I made a mask with an oval
die and then sponged a sunset into it.
I’ve
used Distress inks for it (wilted violet, picked raspberry, ripe persimmons,
mustard seed and for the sea chipped sapphire over the mustard seed)
I then
removed the mask to reveal the sunset.
On
hindsight I wish I hadn’t sponged the blue on, blue and yellow, of course make
green and here it went into a greyish greenish hue I don’t like very much, I
thought the chipped sapphire would be dark enough to cover the yellow... oh
well you live and learn
On the
sketch there’s a circle I chose to use a sailboat die cut instead. And I made
it black as it’s in front of the sun.
I
thought of adding another circle with a
I
mounted the panel with foamtape.

Gorgeous striking and appealing. Those colours zing and while you might not like the result at the bottom I think it is perfect it provides a sea for your little yacht. XOXO
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this!! It's such a happy card reminding me of vacations in Key Largo looking at the sunset. Awesome job. I'm so glad that you're our guest designer this month. Liz x

ReplyDeleteWe're always so hard on ourselves whrn thiongs don't turn out quite as we envisaged, but to me this card looks like perfection. Stunning vivid and striking colours which showcase the black boat beautifully.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness this sunset is gorgeous! And it really pops the sailboat silhouette. Wonderful card!
ReplyDeleteYour sunset sky is stunning! I think the way the sea turned out goes well with the idea of the sun going down and darkness falling. It's a terrific card!
ReplyDeletethanks ladies
ReplyDeleteOh no! Can't believe I missed out commenting on last week's cards! So sorry. This sunset is gorgeous, such deep, warming colours for a chilly winter day. Beautiful Maaike.

Gorgeous, vibrant sunset. I like the colour of your sea. In nature, it reflects the colour of the sky and so it does appear to be very dark as the sun goes down. Stef x
