Peaceful Sunset

I saw a tutorial--I want to say on SCS but not sure--about the creation of a sunset lake scene.  Since we went to Deception Pass a couple of weekend's ago on one of our rare sunny winter days, I was keen to capture that on paper.  I cannot tell you how many times I attempted to replicate it.  A dozen maybe.  I finally figured out that I needed to go much lighter on my sponging.  Less mash, more brush and swirl. Ding, ding, ding.  After that my head picture became a card picture!

The Details:  Memento Dandelion, Cantaloupe, Angel Pink, Tuxedo Black, Rich Cocoa, Danube Blue; Hero Arts Shadow Ink Passion Flower, Soft Sky; PTI kraft cardstock, Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock, Sheena Sheltering Tree, Crafty Individuals CI-209 (birds), Stampin' Up pine trees, TPC Studio Playful Expressions sentiment, post-it notes

I'm entering this in Crafting by Designs Think Warm Thoughts, Alphabet Challenge Blog Z for Zesty Colours, Totally Gorjuss #221 Sunny Colors, Sweet Sunday Sketch #205, CAS-ual Fridays CFC127 Over the Edge, Crafty Cardmakers and More #109 Man's World 

Update:  I found the tutorial I checked out when making this card. Check it out!
