A big congrats to Lisa, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a lovely little gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the circle for the central image, but turned mine vertical, left off the divided panel & made mine a sympathy card.
To make my sympathy card, I used a large circle as a reverse mask, a smaller circle as a mask for the moon/sun, & a straight edge piece of paper for a horizon mask then sponged the blues below & red/oranges above. I went back in w/ a white pencil & added some reflection lines then stamped the Silhouette Branch in black & highlighted them w/ a white gel pen. After adding the stitched circle frame, I stamped the greeting & one of the little corner flourishes in 3 corners. After I die cut the whole panel, I sponged on color on the little narrow layer & put it back around the white panel.
Congrats again, Lisa! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

I love those bright colours moderated by your expanse of white. The stitched edges add some wonderful texture. It all lets your scene take centre stage beautifully! What a great card!
