I love how you guided the colors on this card. Perfect background for water and sky. Adding the black silhouettes of the brush and the bird takes us to the twilight of the day, when the fiery colors have already faded out and remain blue in different shades. I love this card Christine !!

This Magenta silhouette stamp is one of my favourites Christine, and I really will have to try and get it at some point as it has lots of atmosphere, and the scene you have created sells it to me straight away as it looks fabulous using the gouache paints. x
