I am posting my DT project mid-month (thanks to Eithne and the other DT members at Craft for the Craic), lots to do work-wise and not enough time. Seems like an age since I actually made something, so I was so happy to get inky and start crafting again.
The Craft for the Craic theme this month is ' My Favourite Colours' and I found it difficult to chose. I would normally shout 'BLUE' and be happy , but since we have relocated to the lovely Lough Ree in the heart of the Irish midlands, I am facinated with the colours produced by the sun-sets on the lake and the wonderful combinations that nature creates.
My favourite colours seem to change every evening. My card is my attempt to recreate one of these sun-sets.
You're on my mind
This is a 13 x 9 cm note-card with a fold along the side. I used a selection of the Tim Holtz 'Ranger Distress' inks to create the blended background making sure to mask off a circle to make the moon. I tried to mirror the colours, working from the ends of the card and graduating the colours toward to middle. My foreground was created using a torn paper with a jagged outline and some Vintage Photo distress ink. My lonely bird stamp is from a Papermania clear stamp set and the sentiment is from Verve stamps ' Heartfelt Thoughts'. Not bad for restarting my crafting!
