Be your own kind of beautiful

For the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, the theme is Ranger, and anything goes.

For the CAS Colours & Sketches #167: double dip (colours and a sketch).

I combined the two, hopefully succesfully ;-)
I've used Ranger Distress inks (mermaid lagoon and mustard seed) for the sun and sky and Ranger dye ink Java bean for the stamping.

To make the panel I masked off an area and the sun and filled it with Mermaid lagoon with the help of a mini inkblending sponge, also from Ranger.
Then I lifted the sun mask and filled it with the mustard seed, blending it out into the sky a little, which rendered it green, not seen that is real life, ever, but I kinda like the surrealistic effect, like in a dream...
The dandelion stamp is from Marianne design  (TC0837) and I got it today, especially for this card.
The sentiment is from Uniko (all occasion sentiments #6).

The darker bit on the sketch in the middle I made with the yellow twine, I wanted to keep it one layer and as CAS as possible.
 The twine divides the cardfront like the sketch, in my opinion ;-) defining the two spaces.
I hope you can see it, lol...
