I'm not quite sure how I feel about this card. It's for my dad whose birthday is later this week. He's a clean lines, simple kind of guy which was what I was trying to achieve with this design.
I was completely inspired by Connie Collins' gorgeous card and this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #55.
The sunset was created by reverse-masking with a 1 3/4" circle punch and Post-It Note and sponging Summer Sun and touches of More Mustard. The wheat images are stamped using Close to Cocoa and randomly stamping off.
The other Sweet Sunday Stampers have inspiration for you too! ...
