One more Flourishes challenge today- the Shades of Sunset Challenge.This color challenge is open to interpretation! Challenge: "Sunsets are so unique – some have mostly shades of red and orange, others can light up the sky with purple and pink hues!" We are to pick our favorite sunset colors and share in a project. I did this card by using a photo that my husband had made a few years ago. I cropped out a section of the picture and used as a background for my card. I stamped a Zinnia using a Flourishes stamp directly on the picture printed on White CS. I used Versamark Ink and embossed with Ranger Copper EP. I stamped the sentiment in the same way. Love how this came out. Used a grey CS card base and a mat of Copper Metallic CS. Added no other embellishment....just let the stamps, both from Zinnias Stamp Set by Flourishes, be the stars of the card. The sentiment and zinnias just seem to cry out to be on this card when I was looking through my stamps. It took be a while to come up with the concept of this card but am pleased with the result. Below is the original photograph that I used as inspiration for my card. This was a sunset at the causeway at Captiva Island, Florida.Friday, August 12, 2011
