Watch the Sunset

 What a fabulous challenge this month at CAS Watercolour - Silhouette.... I love experimenting and watercolours are high on my list.. I've been trying my hand at clouds and this panel turned out quite well and suited beautifully for my silhouette trees stamp ........ and I'm just mad about sunrises and sunsets, my hubby thinks I'm nuts, I've so many photos of them and as I was about to write up this post I peered out my window and there was a lovely soft sky with the glow appearing behind the trees and roof tops... so of course I rushed out with the camera... photo below.  I'm amazed at the colours a sunrise or set can share with us but mostly I love calming affect it has on me - breathe in a new day and relax at the end. I mounted my panel on navy and even had a stamp to go with it.  Thanks for taking a peek

Silhouette Sunset

I've recently been trying out 'new' ways with my favourite watercolour medium TH Distress Inks - creating some colourful backgrounds to use with silhouette images. This is the first time I've used this Crafty Individuals stamp (it's one in a set of four) and I'm excited to create some more cards with these stamps. I am posting to Simon Says Monday challenge - Something New... so new Silhouette cards is my entry.  Thanks for taking a peek

SOMETHING NEW

Distress Ink background and Silhouettes

Today I am posting to a new challenge friends Vikkis' and I have found.... Stamp Ink Paper; Challenge #28 - Anything but Christmas.  I've been experimenting with Distress Inks for backgrounds and these bright firey ones are my first attempts.... I'm really pleased how they turned out.  Now I'm going to have to grow my solid scenery stash of stamps.  I created the grassy bits with the very edge of the tree stamp on the first one.  Thanks for taking a peek
