52 Weeks - Sunset

Eeek!  It's already Friday, and somehow I forgot to pre-plan this post - the kids and I headed to camp this afternoon for the next week - I am going as first aider, the kids are beyond excited!!  It is, however going to be a quiet week on my blog...

So, it's challenge day over at Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges.  Today Janis challenged us to create a sunset project.  I have seen what the rest of the team came up with, and they knocked it out of the park!  Here is what I came up with:


So, this is a bit outside my box, but I am pretty happy with it.  The tag is from Pantin Schoolbook.  I decided to do a sponged sky, something I've only done once before.  I masked off the sun, created the sky, and then went back in to sponge the sun.  The image stamp I used is from Stampin Up, it's called Branch Out, and the sentiment stamp is from Flourishes Child's Play set.

It might be outside your comfort zone Michelle, but it's just lovely. The background colours are blended beautifully and such a meaningful sentiment.

Thanks so much for sharing with us at Craft a Scene this month.
