I used one of my favorite SNSS stamp sets, The Sea, to make this sunset scene. Cloud die-cuts were used to sponge the sky, and a mask for the sun (post-it-notes and a small Spellbinders Circle). Three embossing textures were used for the bg panels.
More info about sponging the sky on my blog.

An unbelievable creation. Coloring is excellent and the sentiment tells it all. I think I will look at your card some more and really take it all in.
