I don't have any spectrum pads so I used the Baby Wipe Stripes technique to make a sunset-inspired background. My card ended up with a more somber feel. I couldn't find a floral stamp I wanted to use, so I used a tree. I also changed the colors, moved the sentiment, and popped up the panel and sentiment. TFL and congrats to Vera!

Whoa, this skyline so reminds me of my summer Saturday drives home from Napa Valley to Sacramento. Honestly, that's exactly what the sunset always looked like. Oh, this brings back such great memories. YOur card is spectacular. Using BW's worked out fabulously well for your bg! Super card.

Love how the embossing picks up that swirl pattern that is also in the tree. This is just gorgeous in some really wonderful colors.
