Sunrise Inspired

I saw the most incredible sunrise on the way to work a few days ago and just HAD to create one on paper....of course, paper and ink can never be as grand as God's handi-work, but a girl's gotta try!! This image is from a new set by Our Daily Bread designs, called "Anchor". The water and sky were colored with sponge daubers, using masking around the image; the rest was colored with Stampin Up markers. The designer paper is "With A Bang" by Moxxie and was cut out with a Spellbinders Labels Eight die, the buttons are Basic Grey, the twill ribbon is by May Arts, and I used a Herringbone embossing folder by Cuttlebug for the Kraft layer.

I have used several challenges in the making of this card:
Shabby Tea Room: Inspiration photo...red, cream, gray, blue;
All Sorts: Inspired By Nature;
Crazy 4 Challenges: Dies;
Drunken Stampers: Dies;
Crafy Catz: One For The Men;
Stampin' Royalty: Mark It Up (Markers);
ColorQ: Color challenge;
Incy Wincy: 2 coloring mediums;
Etsy Inspired Challenge: this Tear Drop Tumbler from the Clayliscious store (some awesome ceramic goodies there!) caught my eye because of the ocean blue color against the brown;
Splitcoast's Inspiration Challenge: check out this awesome Beach Wallpaper from the WallTAT store!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a blessed weekend!!!!
