Tilda takes a dip!


This card is for my Magnolialicious Mingle partner Pat! I hope she enjoys it! It will be off to her Monday. We had to use water and/or flowers for this month. I made the sunset with 4 Stampin Up colors, a circle punched from a sticky note, and one sponge! I started with the circle sort of in the middle of the white card stock so I could put my scene anywhere along the horizon line. I sponged from the sun outward to give the rays direction. My colors were 1. more mustard 2. pumpkin pie 3. really rust and 4. ruby red. I used the same sponge as I layered the color. I used the "By the sea" background and Tilda by the sea stamps. I used copics to color them all. The dress is a second layer with dimensional adhesive. I cut the background at the horizon line and placed it where I thought the sun looked best. It was a lot of fun, I hope Pat enjoys it too!
p.s. I forgot to mention it is also my submission for the Challenge at Copic Creations!  Diana at Magnolialicioius has donated a wonderful prize and I absolutely HAVE to give it a shot!  You can see the challenge and prize here
