Sunset Thanks

Photo Details

Poster: ravengirl

I made this card for my Ways To Use It challenge today. Today's challenge is all about heat! I chose to heat emboss my wheat image and sentiment over the top of my sponged sunset!

I couldn't resist playing along with Flourishes Shades of Sunset challenge, so I sponged one here. I paid careful attention to the sunset from my daughter's bedroom window last weekend and tried to replicate it here. My favorite part of this particular sunset was the purple cloud mid-sky!

Thanks for looking!

Thanks

This is gorgeous! I'll have to go up and study the next sunset from my DD's bedroom soon!

Yeah! We need some sun and HEAT here! I've worn a sweatshirt the last three days! Oh, not the same one - I guess I've worn three...

Love your pretty sunset, Toni! The whole card is so nice...the scalloped rectangle, rounded corners on your image panel, smidge of ribbon and even the different size. Well done, and thanks for a fun challenge.

You certainly achieved a lovely sunset - and I really like the silhouette image.
