Sunset Birthday

I've actually managed to make a card for this weeks Less is More Challenge - I've missed so many weeks because my Mum has moved in with us and I have been busy sorting everything out.

The theme this week is Sunset colours, I googled Sunset colours and was quite surprised at how many different variations there are! I created my Sunset colours with my Spectrum Noir markers, carefully blending the colours together.

I used my Papertrey Ink Birthday die and a Woodware stamp along with an X-Cut punch for the stars.
