Creating A Simple Sunset Scene

April 9, 2020 Leave a Comment

My regular readers will know that I see in Stampin’ Up! colours. As I’m going about my daily life I notice colour combinations and these often turn up in my projects. Sometime over the past week or two I saw a colour combination and made a note of it. Sadly I forgot to record the exact circumstances. However when I put the colours together on some card a sunset emerged. Then with a few extra touches I created today’s project.

SUNSET BACKGROUND

I created this sunset background using ink and Sponge Brayers on a 2″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Whisper White Card.

First I covered the whole piece with a layer of Petal Pink ink. Then I changed to Calypso Coral ink and brayered that over the top. Finally I added Night of Navy ink, making it darker towards one end. Before I finished I went back over with Calypso Coral ink to smooth out the transition between the colours.

With the background complete my next job was to find a suitable image. In the end I turned to the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set and the standing lady. To create the silhouette effect I stamped her onto the bottom of the bookmark using Tuxedo Black ink. Then I went over the whole image using a dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blends alcohol marker. I also filled out the grassy area around her using the same marker.

STARRY SKY

In the Beautiful Moments stamp case I also found some masks that I’d stamped and cut from Full-Adhesive Post-It® Notes. I placed the lady mask on top of the image on the bookmark and then flicked my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush over the inked surface. Now my sunset had a splattering of stars.

Stampin’ Blends work by soaking into the card surface so now I needed to hide the back of the piece. This was a simple task. I cut some Basic Black Card the same size as the original piece and glued the two together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow).

With that done I removed the mask and shaped the top of the piece using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.

To complete the bookmark I cut two 6″ pieces of twine. One piece was Grapefruit Grove from the Nature’s Twine pack. The other was Night Of Navy from the Country Club Twine Combo Pack. I threaded both pieces through the hole at the top of the bookmark and tied them together in a simple knot. Then using the paper piercing attachment on my Take Your Pick tool I teased apart the individual threads. My sunset scene was finally done.

Even though I can’t remember exactly what inspired this colour combination I’m so glad I jotted it down. The sunset scene really does give the impression of that moment when the last rays of the sun disappear behind the horizon. I hope you like it.
