I made this card with a set released today by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps called The Sea...as soon as I laid eyes on this beautiful silhouette, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it and start sponging, and I'm practicing my brayering! I masked the sun to make a sunset similar to ones I sometimes see on the North coast of Northern Ireland up by Portrush or Portstewart where the sky is a bright golden yellow and brilliant pink.
I also use a fantastic new set called Decorative Frame toppers at the top and bottom of the middle panel - it has all kinds of different accents to add to sentiments and images.
Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is having a fun Virtual Stamp Day of challenges in the SNSS members forum and my card is a sample for one of the challenges which will be live at 6:00 pm EST. If you'd like to blog hop with us, join us on my blog.

I love this beautiful depiction of the sun setting over Northern Ireland, Bridget!! Not only have you captured the color wonderfully in the sky, but you've got it in the water too!
I hope that you are enjoying your parents, and that you are crafting with your Mother! Hugs to you!
