Sunrise Silhouette Thanks

Photo Details

Poster: nancycrone

I had a whole truckload of inspirations on this card. I do have reverse masking on here, altho it's kinda hard to see - my sun isn't quite as bodacious as it should be. The weeds are covering it up. My first inspiration is this creation from Allee

allee's CTD5 by allee's at Splitcoaststampers

After I saw what she did with it, I went out and bought me this set even tho it wasn't on sale, just because I had money to spend. Well, it is MY birthday WEEK/MONTH. August belongs to ME. So, then, I tried Jeanne's sponged sky/grass technique found here:

Blogs at Splitcoaststampers

Joan Ervin had us making silhouettes in the DTGD08 challenge, so she helped with this, too.

The word Thanks is from the little stamp in the Happy Harmony set, just marked the single word with a marker, rather than the whole phrase.

Made this for my NOM (nutty old man) to send to a friend who gave HIM a bottle of really nice wine for MY birthday.

I've had these see-D's silhouette stamps for simply ages, but have never tried anything like this! Thanks for inspiring me! I love the colors of the sky!
