I made my variegated sunset with chalks. I stamped my clearly inspired brushed florals on top of the sunset with black stazon. I added color to my flowers with prisma colored pencils. I added a little bee so the Uncle Beeford could have another bee. If you don't know about Uncle Beeford check out Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday Challenge on her blog: http://mothermark.blogspot.com/2009/...-and-boys.html
I added glue and glamour dust to the little bee's wings.

Really beautiful! Earth tones are my favorite, and I just stared at your card for the longest time, taking it all in. Thank you for your detailed how-to explanations -- I always appreciate them!

Love your variegated background with those gorgeous black-eyed susans and the plum card base. Looks fantastic!
