Hi! This card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: Happy New Year! Participants were to:
Happy: 15 minute or less card
New: Use something new to them: MY NEW CUTTER! (New stamp set, too! Heeheehee)
Year: Annual event like anniversary, birthday, etc.
I wanted to use Speedy the Cat today, so I decided to use this SOON TO BE RELEASED set today... My new cutter certainly got a work out! LOL(One cut! LOL) And I used the label die to create that "funky" die cut. (I cut 2 of the label and cut one in half and taped it behind the oval!)
I used a Reverse Mask technique to create the setting sun. I used Orangeria, Sun Flower and Paris Lights for the sponged sun. Next, I sponged in Landscape and Giverney Green for the grass. The sky is bottom to top: Paris Lights, Nude, Orangerie, L' Amoure Red, Ballet Blue, Prussian Blue, and Charcoal Palette Inks.
Finished card size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Total time to complete: Less than 8 minutes
