For our Colour Challenge this week 

we have chosen

SUNSET

You do not have to make an interpretation of a sunset, although of course you are free to do that, but merely use the colours which this word brings to your mind.

We did wonder about adding a sunset picture, but wondered if that would influence your thoughts too much and so decided to leave it to your imaginations.

Having looked at sunset pictures on the internet, there are lots of colours to choose from, but remember to keep your design Clean and Simple with lots of White Space.

Aqua tint inks were dropped onto a piece of card and then spritzed with water to make them run into each other. When dry, part of the card was used to show through the die-cut slash in the front panel and the rest for the Spellbinders sentiment and the base layers of the Memory Box butterflies.
Other dies are from Simon Says Stamp.

Anita

I blended Distress inks in Shaded Lilac, Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade then stamped the tree from Clearly Besotted's Birch Trees set in Versafine Onyx Black ink.  I die cut a panel from this using an MFT Die-namics Stitched Rectangle.  I mounted this on 3D foam with the sentiment from the same set stamped vertically alongside it.

Anne

I have used Distress Inks to get a wintry look to my landscape:  Barn Door, Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade and Squeezed Lemonade.  Sounds yummy doesn't it!  The stamps are from several of Jenny Mayes' Hobby Art Scene-Its.
