Inspiration from the Game #46 inspiration photo above.
Here is my take on the game:
I wanted to make a beautiful sunset scene on a card to send to my dear far away friend for her birthday. Though this is not a traditional birthday card, it is perfect for her. It puts me so in mind of the gorgeous sunsets on Barnegat Bay from our roof deck on Long Beach Island. I used THIS tutorial by Theresa Momber to help me get that beautiful richness of color. Theresa is a sponging rock star. All of the the inks I used are Ranger distress inks except for the sentiment, which is VersaFine Onyx Black. The stamped image is from Penny Black : Winter Sky. The die cut and stamped sentiments are Simon Says Stamp.
I am also linking this creation to the following:
Addicted To Stamps Challenge #157: MAKE YOUR MARK - Use anything that will make a mark on
your project. Markers, paints, sponges etc.
Seize The Birthday Challenge : Anything that Flies. Although this is a non-traditional birthday card, it is a birthday card, and there are birds on it!

GASP! Breath-taken away at how stunning your sponging is and the scene you've created is beyond impressive! I feel as if I've been transported right there...to watch that beautiful sunset and see the birds flying in the dusk sky. In awe, my friend!
