Inspired by beautiful sunsets. I used a combination of digital and non-digital techniques to create my card.
CARD (5.5" wide by 4.25" tall)
I created the base card from black cardstock and scored it at the top so that my desert sunset card opens from the bottom. I layered the top panel with golden yellow cardstock.
For the imagery on the front of the card I created a sunset by sponging glossy cardstock with several inks and then blending them. After the ink dried I added digital stamps of a saguaro cactus, woman, & grasses to the sunset background and silhouetted them as necessary. I affixed the completed scene to my card front.
For the inside card panel I decorated cream cardstock with a strip of the sponged sunset and matted it with golden yellow cardstock. I left the panel blank.
I also handmade a white envelope from heavy cover stock.
