When I think of summer nights I think hot...sometimes so hot that all you want to do is walk down the road and dip your toes in the ocean or cool down in the pool with a nice long drink in your hands.
I also think of glorious sunsets and the moon twinkling on the dark sea. My card couldn't quite capture the colours but our sunsets vary.
Oh oh those summer nights........
I'm loving the monthly Hero Arts kit that is on Oz as I can't always find many stamps to do with our beautiful country. The stencil In the kit is awesome and I kept moving it slightly to get the colours right through the sky. I also rubbed distress ink over the whole panel afterwards to soften the edges.
The moonlight on the ocean was done first and before cleaning off my brush. Again I kept moving the stencil.
I decided to use the G'Day stamp and because my stamping wasn't that great I thought I'd emboss....wrong decision. Why is it I always do this lol. Oh well. I also forgot my little embossing buddy so had to brush off most of the sparkles with a paintbrush.
In hindsight I would have just left it at the stamping as the embossing powder I used was too thick. Thank goodness for bling. I could redo the stamping and pop it on the top but for now I'm ok with it.
The photo shows it as brown..it's a vibrant orange. I will try and take another photo lol.
TFL. Happy day

I have seen many amazing sunsets in Oz, but nothing quite compares to watching the sun sink into your Indian ocean in WA. Jayne this is absolutely breathtaking. I can't stop looking!!!!
