Hi friends,
Well I chose something that really appealed to me because of the color and I sat and thought about how I might be able to do it and came up with this. It's not as good as I hoped but a lot better than my first try! LOL!! My inspriation was this
This is really the first time I've tried the crayons I bought a year or more ago because of my sistah Susie!! Haha, I loved the way she used them on those beautiful fancy dresses she did! Wow, she makes it look easy!
Anyway, I thought I'd give them a try today...They are pretty cool!
EDIT: So I am including a few instructions by request from our Tlady.
I blended the Distress crayons first after deciding where I wanted the horizon line (went with the 2/3 rule) I used my finger to blend, filled in where needed then decided where to put the main trees. I didn't want them all on the horizon line (like I did on the first try, dumb!) so I drew in small lines to help me plan. I used the magic powder over the crayons because I didn't want the blue foil to stick to EVERYTHING! I stamped my trees upside down and embossed, I then sponged the sky to be more of a real sunset sky like I thought I saw in the painting then I heat set because I used Distress Oxide Ink and used the magic powder as well. I stamped the trees again right-side-up using black VersaFine and clear EP. I got down to worms view to try and line the trucks up the best I could. I did use a Black Sharpie in a couple places it a blue shadow did not have a black corresponding branch. Done, except the sentiment which is just plain black on white cardstock and cut out.
Thanks for looking!

Terrific rendition of your inspiration! Love the bright jewel colors and interesting patterns and shadows cast by your Trees and the angle of the sunset filtering through them. BEAUTIFUL!
