New Challenge

Posted on November 20, 2011 by kth

I found a new challenge site: For Your Inspiration. It is a photo inspiration challenge. This week’s challenge is a beautiful sunrise/set photo (fyi18).

I paired that inspiration with the sketch challenge from Waltzing Mouse (wmsc74).

From the FYI challenge, I was inspired by the sunrays. I would have used a red hue in the card, but that just felt a bit to empire-rising-ish.

Thanks for stopping by!

I think your sunray effect is just fabulous (and you’re right these colours are best). The tree is really beautiful – it has a serene feeling. Love it!
