This is my card for Brenda's "fools who dream" VSN challenge. She gave us the lyrics of the song and asked us to create a card. I used the words "sunset inside a frame".
I looked through my stash and found this background already made. So all I had to do was add my frame and stamp my sentiment.
Here is how I originally made this background:
I sponged just a bit of daffodil ink for my setting sun. And, then moved to my night sky using pacific point ink.
I continued with soft sky for my water. I stamped waves in the water with wild wasabi ink and a stamp from Just For Fun.
Made a mask and sponged at the waters edge with crumb cake ink for a little sand. Moved the mask to the side of the card and sponged with tuxedo black ink for my island.
On the island I stamped a palm tree from the Stampin'-Up "plant hope" set. Used my wasabi marker to add some color to the tree fronds.

I really like how you have the sun melting into the water. This is a beautiful card. Great serene scene. I want to sit under that palm tree and meditate. Definitely a heartfelt image.
