Another round of the perfect sunset/sunrise colors! And another cowboy card. Sorry, y'all! I'm a native Texan & I love southwest cards. Today's colors are pretty much my go to colors for sunrise/sunset & IMHO, they are perfect for a silhouette card. The green dessert is icing on the cake!
I used a a torn mask for the ground & sponged on the greens, reversed the mask & sponged on some yellow for the sky. Then I added a big circle mask & sponged on more yellow, some orange & a little watermelony red. I used the edge of the sponge to add the streaks coming from the sun, then highlighted them a bit w/ a white Prismacolor pencil.
I put the bg into my Misti then stamped the silhouette cowboy, lg cactus & the eagle. The small cactus & little cloud are punches. I die cut the scene w/ a Double Stitched Rectangle, doing a little out of the box for the eagle. The black bg was done w/ a small border punch. I made a corner template out of copy paper & used it to help punch all around the edges and have it be as symmetrical as possible.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Beautiful card, Julie! And I agree that they are perfect colors for a sunset or sunrise (that's why I picked them together!). You do such a great job with this type of scene card - well done!
