Hi all,
I did this card last night after seeing both challenges up for today. Thank you BTW since I work M-W I don't get a lot of time to play. I did the twisted stone technique Lydia described but I've had a bit of a problem getting much of the sparkle to show...There is a bit at the top you can see though so I went with this pic. This card was super simple as it is one main die cut and then the small thanks which I cut 3 times to give it a bit of dimension (IRL). I made several bg's so I took the thanks out of another piece. This was really fun to do and I was going for a sunset look but it looks more like a forest fire which we have a lot around where I live unfortunately!
Thanks for looking!

Love your sunset! This is a very pretty card, Robin. Don't you just hate it when work gets in the way what's fun. But then when you retire, you kind of miss work.

What a nice dramatic scene you have made here Robin. Funny thing is I made a comment about my card this morning when I wrote it out about either being a forest fire or a sunset.....(between us I like yours better)

Oh wow my sweet sistah from anudder mudder, this looks amazing!! If you swapped the bear for a kangaroo, it looks like a bush fire here. You have created so much depth in the background using that technique (massive fail at my end mate). I love this to bits.

Gorgeous background and silhouette forest with your Yosemite bear. We sure have seen LOTS of bears in the Yosemite Valley and back country. The perfect animal for your challenge:-) TFS Robin. Hugs
