Scallop Punch Sunset, CCCC Act 37

Scallop punch sunset. I'm trilled with my creation for Stacey Staffer's Curtain Call Color Challenged Act 37. In July 2008 I'd was lucky to attend one of Michelle Zindorf's brayer technique class. Ever since I've been hooked and really enjoy doing this technique along with sponging. For the sunset I'd added my version of masking a scallop punch instead of from a circle punch and I'd really, really used Barely Banana in the center of the card. When brayering & repeating each layer of the same color ink it gave it more of a orange sherbert ice cream effect.



Stamp Recipe: SU Tropical Party, PTI: Signature Greetings
Paper: WW, Tempting Turquoise
Ink: Melon Mambo, Barely Banana, Tempting Turquoise, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Melon Mambo 1/2" polka dot grosgrain ribbon, 1 3/4" scallop circle punch

Enjoy!
