Craft Barn "Alpha/Dictionary" Challenge

The next letter for the Craft Barn challenge is "S" with the twist to include a shell.
One of my favourite bands is Sunset Sons (check them out they are really good :) ), so the decision was easy I went for Sunset.

I made a stencil of a 3/4 circle and used Distress Ink to create the sun. Then I marked up the sun and added 3 different DIs to the background. Sprayed everything with water to get the colours fade into each other a little bit. I stamped seagulls around the sun and shells as a kind of border. 
Then I divided the page with striped Washi Tape and added the letters Sunset (the word Sons underneath the T) and the definition.

And last but not least, thanks so much (to Mr Random Generator) for picking my last entry as the winner. I've already spent the voucher on some Brushos and hope to play with them very soon. Yeah :)
Happy weekend and thanks for looking :)

  2. Lovely page, just like one of those hot summer sunset! Have fun with your brushos and don't forget to protect your surfaces (I use lots of newspaper).

  3. I love this red sunset! I love the shells just barely being there along with the great birds. And now we have an album cover for the band! Love that idea.

  5. Oh congrats on your win. I never think to check that because I fear the voucher would just about pay postage to the States on anything I wanted! Glad you were able to get something useful.

    I adore how you incorporated your favorite band and still meet this challenge. You did an excellent job meeting the twist, too.

  6. Love this personal homage to one of your favourite bands and the shell border works really well. You'll love Brushos, they are fun to work with and if you've spilled even a grain you will find out as soon as it gets wet!
