Those colors always remind me of beautiful sunsets. Today I went with a pretty simple emboss resist to make the colors the star of the show. I used Distress Oxide inks in matching colors to blend the background after I had heat embossed the sentiment from Catherine Pooler called 'Fearless Pursuit' and the leaves from Hero Arts' 'Delicate Leaf Clusters' stamp sets. When the Distress Oxides had dried, I used Distress Micro Glaze to seal in the color and added some Pretty Pink Posh clear drops for accent.
