Abstract Sunset

Right before the latest Color Hues Challenge went live, I discovered this canvas from an Etsy shop:

Had I seen it earlier, I’m pretty sure I would have made this card:

But it didn’t take me long to get to it since I needed another masculine birthday card. (In fact, I need several, so hopefully I’ll be back soon with more.) I knew as soon as I saw the inspiration piece that I had the perfect die from Ellen Hutson, Abstract Sunset. After die cutting the pieces from multiple cardstocks, I pieced them back together on a cream rectangle cut with Ellen Hutson’s Essential Rectangles.

Then I pieced together some oranges, and die cut the sun. I ended up using one of Ellen Hutson’s Essential Circles, since the circle die in the Abstract Sunset was smaller than I wanted. Once again the gold foiled Black Tabs from Memory Box was the perfect sentiment. 

This is off to the Just Us Girls Challenge where they want die cuts, but no flowers, and the Wednesday Simon Says Challenge: Birthday Cards.
