Since moving out into the countryside, the one thing I appreciate the most is the uninterrupted view of the big sky we have and watching the weather and clouds roll in and out again, so when I saw the challenge at Jennifer styles blog this week for OLW was to use clouds on your card I decided to recreate my favourite sky scene
I love the wispy lines of cloud above a sunset as they change from the usual white grey to a slate grey with lovely highlights underneath....quite different from the sky at the moment as we have just had a downpour!
This is another 4 inch sq card and I have used chalk to make the sky and then used coloursoft pencils to add the clouds. I've double stamped the seed head in black to give the 'silhouette' feel when you are looking at the sunset.
I hope this fits the challenge as my clouds are quite a small part of the scene :)
It's also a one layer challenge tomorrow at Less is More so can't wait to see what Mandi and Chrissie have in store for us:{
Thanks so much for calling by, I'm sure I'll be back over the weekend X
