CAS279 Red Sky at Night

Photo Details

Poster: bfinlay

What a great CAS challenge today - sunsets. I watercolored a panel, and sponged a Nestie circle for the sun. Was thinking of that old saying "Red sky at night, a shepherds delight, red sky in the morning, a sailors warning." Added a sentiment using this fabulous Winnie and Walter set which was part of my birthday present. This for a man, I think this design works pretty good for a masculine card, will use it again. I am also entering this in the current Addicted to CAS Challenge: Sun.

What a beautiful card!! The saying about red sky at night was going through my head when I saw this in the gallery. Such a wonderful card.

Wow, Bridget. Not only have you created an amazing sky, your out of the box sun and die cut bird really make this pop. Also noticed that little sprinkle of dark sequins to finish off your design so well.
