GM 09 - Shabby Chic - or Fun in the Wild West

Wow, Can anything top the beautiful artwork from last week? I have looked at the gallery almost every day to soak in all the gorgeous cards and tags. This week we are introduced to a fabulously new (to me) technique from the amazing TH himself. Check out the technique HERE, and for more greatness - peruse his BLOG. If you are still craving more - Linda, over at Studio L3 challenges us each and every week and you can see some of the most beautiful and creative art there is HERE. This week we were challenged with Shabby Chic. As soon as I read through all the steps, images of a southwest sunset came to mind. If you've ever seen one, you know what I'm talking about. All the trees and cactus turn to black and you see this amazing color blazing behind them. I am lucky enough to see this most evenings while relaxing on my back patio. I have experimented every which way I know how - but I can't seem to share the beautiful depth of colors with you. But you get the idea....

I used a scenic stamp from Ink Blocks, sentiment and posse are from Rubber City Rubberworks, and daubers are gold, red pepper, sunset orange, and sunshine yellow.
