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.
