I used a gorgeous Penny Black Gentle Thoughts Clear Stamp Set and made a sunset scene ;-)

Nothing nicer than sitting on a beach with your best friend, a glass of chilled wine, a bag of crisps, and watching the sunset is there ;-)

I masked the image using Inkadinkado Masking Paper (best ever, not too sticky like some brands) and then blended Spiced Marmalade, Salty Ocen and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks over the background. I coloured the image with Copic Markers and added some sandy coloured glitter and star dust stickles to the sand and sea. The sentiment is from a Simon's Exclusive Hello Darling Clear Stamp Set, I thought it was quite fitting for sending the sunshine 'down under' ;-)
