This is for today's Featured Stamper challenge as well as a second card for Saturday's Inspiration Challenge. Today's FS is MBRCutie25 aka Mary Beth. It was such a treat to find so many beautiful designs in Mary Beth's amazing gallery.
Mary Beth I loved SO many of your wonderful creations - I had about 5 windows open of different cards to CASE, but my eye kept coming back to this brayered beauty (so Stunning!): {Ocean Breeze Silhouette}
Changes were with colors, card shape/size, stamp, nestie, punch, DSP and bling flourishes.
Further inspiration came from Saturday's IC website - Kirklands. I loved this wall art: {Ocean Breeze Silhouette}
I practiced brayering - this is about the 5th time I've tried this sunset scene, and there's still room for improvement but at least this one is uploadable!!! The others have been kept only to remind me of how far I've come LOL!!
This card is for my SIL/BIL's upcoming anniversary.
Thanks everyone for looking!
Enjoy your Sunday!
Hugs,
Audrey

Wow, I'd say your practice made it perfect - it's an awesome job on the brayering. I recently tried a sunset - but after 3-4 tries - it still looked like a grilled cheese sandwich. Your card is beautiful and exotic!

Soooooo gorgeous! How did you make the sun and the sun's reflection? I tried brayering for the first time in November but this looks complicated! It's really stunning.
