Winter Woods Sponged Sunset Technique

You know how much I love to sponge and create scenes.  This stamp set is perfect for it!  

I made this card for my Team Meeting Saturday. 

Step by step directions:

1. I stamped the trees first and then added a circle mask for the sun.  I sponged Crushed Curry in the circle with a bit of Calypso Coral on the outer edges.  
2. Now cover up the sun with the punched circle so you can sponge the sunset. 
3. Sponge Crushed Curry over the bottom; then a bit of Calypso Coral over that.  Be sure you are sponging in a circular manner.  Rub it on; don't dab it on.  Use sponges;  not daubers!
4. Next a bit of Pumpkin Pie but be sure you leave room for Coastal Cabana on the top!  
5. Now die-cut the Old Olive hill and while you're add it do a strip of Black too.  
6. Stamp the greeting in Black Memento ink.  Adhere to the Black curved die-cut.  Adhere to the sponged card stock and trim to 4" X 5 1/4" finished size. 
7. Adhere to the folded 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" main card base.
