C4C89 Summer Sunsets!!

Happy Saturday!!
Joanne - The Inky Ocean Gazer has another FAB idea to get our mojo flowing over at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog!!

Now that the weather is sunny and clear (hopefully), we often start planning vacations. Create a card showing a favorite vacation spot or activity.

Well it doesn't matter where I go or even if I stay home...I always appreciate the beautiful summer sunsets that don't come until 10 or 11 at night!!! LOVE the long days!!! So here is my hommage to summer using one of my very favorite silhouette stamps!!

I stamped my image in craft ink then embossed it on apricot paper! I then used saffron, pumpkin, and rose red inks to sponge in the sunset colors!! I also embossed the butterfly die cut so the texture would match the main image!

If you decide to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C89. Don't forget to head back over to the C4C Blog and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

Thanks so much for stoppin' by for a little Stamps 'n' Coffee!
