Four Seasons June Challenge: Sunset over the Sea

It's hard to believe that June has arrived but here we are and it's time to switch seasons at the Four Seasons challenge blog. We have a fun summer-themed mood board this month and as always the use of moodboard is just an option as Anything Summer Goes!


And here is what I made, inspired by the bottom right image. 


For some reason I struggled with this card, I think this was my fourth try but at that point I was ready to call it "done". 

I started out with the negative of a circle die cut as a mask and inked up the seascape using Distress inks (Peacock Feathers, Antique Linen, Carved Pumpkin and Crackling Campfire. I used stamps from a retired Hero Arts set. The rays were done using a Tim Holtz stencil.



I plan to share with these challenges:


Please visit the challenge blog to see what the rest of my teammates came up with and to share your own summertime creation. The challenge is open until June 25th. Hope to see you there :)

    It's gorgeous Ellie, love the sunset scene, the bold colours really make it pop, contrasting so dramatically with the subtle background stencilling. Thank you for joining in at Fab'n' Funky
