Just Believe at sunset

I love the Just Believe Stamp set, it can atmospheric and emotional cards - if thats possible ! lol By masking the sun with a post it note, then sponging the rest of the area creates the atmosphere. I then did light sponging over the white area so it all blends together perfectly. Last thing is to stamp the flower image in black.SU recipe :

Cardstock - Bravo burgundy, shimmer white, black
Ink - Barely banana, crumb cake, Bravo burgundy, black
