It seems like ages since I was here … it’s not, but life has been full since my Happy Birthday To Bev post, so it feels a long time ago! Popping in with a QACAS (Darnellism for Quick and Clean and Simple) grasses-at-sunrise card …
I stamped and heat embossed the Annabelle Stamps grasses on a white card panel, sponged them with sunrise coloured inks, edged the panel with black and sprayed it with shimmer spritz (you may just be able to make it out) to represent the dew. The base card was masked to create a square slightly larger than the grasses panel and it was sponged in the same graduated colour. I stamped the Stampendous sentiment and popped the panel up on foam tape.
I’m playing along at …
CASology (Grass) – not joined in for a while and it’s good to be back

Love the sunset, Anita, and the fact that you also inked up the under panel. It really adds to the effect.
I love how you have inked the bottom panel, it is a very creative touch and the added sparkle for dew is just inspired my friend x
Your grass card is so tranquil and gorgeous, with my favorite sunset colors, Anita! It gave me a much bigger smile than your sweet little sentiment =] Michele
I love your delicate grasses with the perfectly paired sentiment!
The “shadow” outline of the square is so lovely and well thought out too. It does seem a while to me that you have posted…so happy that you were able to have some time to play 🙂
Gorgeous Anita…….the grasses and sunset panel is beautiful but the added shading underneath is a stroke of genius!
Hugs.

This is so simple but so lovely. I love the sunset colors. That sentiment is perfect too!!! Sunsets always make me smile!!
Lovely cards – thanks for the shout-out 🙂
Anita this card is so elegant – clean and simple with beautiful lines. Often one word sentiments are very powerful. Have a good week. 🙂 Barb
Gorgeous colours Anita, I love the subtle black edge and the coloured underpanel, really looks so effective, smile is the perfect sentiment 🙂 Cathy x
Brilliant sunset panel. The stamp is lovely and the way you have inked behind too is a fab touch! xx
Wow…so so beautiful. I love the sweet and soft colors and that grass looks like it is dancing in the wind. Enjoy your weekend!
Love your silhouette grass against the sunset sky! So serene!
oh anita!! this is an absolutely stunning card… love it!!
Beautiful and elegant! Love the sunset colours and the base panel. The delicate silhouette stamp works perfectly too 🙂
Such a pretty ‘grass’ scene, the silhouette sunrise is a perfect idea!
Anita this is so beautiful I love the colours you used and all of that white space really highlights this gorgeous image. This would look fantastic framed.

What a beautiful CAS card.
Beautiful colours and I love that you created the ‘frame’ underneath as well! So glad you joined us at CASology this week, Anita!
Gorgeous, Anita! Love that you’ve used grass but there’s no green in sight! 😀 Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
Oh, this is just drop dead gorgeous, Anita!! Such brilliant colours you’ve used to do the sponging and the frame underneath is a great idea!!! The size and font of the sentiment fit perfectly!! CAS at it’s best!! Love it!!
Have a super day!!
beautiful CAS card!!!
Anita, it is good to have you joining us at CASology…I’ve missed you! I love this serene, quiet sunrise scene…so beautifully inked and arranged. Just lovely! Thanks for playing along at CASology!
Wow, like this the grass challenge is doable… I pass this one, because I had no inspiration for it, but this is a super card! Hugs, Gerrina
This is gorgeous–clean and simple and beautiful. Love your ink sponging and blending. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.
Oh I really like the silhouette! Great colours…..I have such a difficult time with CAS, I have yet to find out why! Lol!
Anita what a serene scene you created. Lovely sky colours! Thank you so much for sharing with us at CASology!
Such pretty, soft colours. This is really lovely and perfect for the CASology challenge. Feels like ages since I posted too (been a week) but have 4 cards staring at me pleading to be posted. Will have to wait till everyone in bed tonight, I can’t blog and answer fifty million questions from the kids at the same time..my head might explode!!
Lovely soft and serene. Thanks so much for joining us at CASology!
This is so pretty, Anita! I love how you blended your inks to create the sky, and your silhouette of tall grass is perfect!
So pretty and peaceful Anita – just gorgeous
Wow! Sponging the base with the same gradient ‘sunrise’ colors is absolutely brilliant and creates the perfect mat for your pretty sunrise scene! What a FABULOUS effect! Love all the white space, love the colors and love the subtle touch of ‘shimmery dew’. Yep….winner, winner!
The grass in silhouette with the gorgeous inked sunrise is a master piece 🙂 love this beauty
Anita the Grass silhouette with that inking behind it soo adorable…lovely scene and really CAS, I see a winner here Anita I ADORE your beauty card…if you have time would you mind to see my grass card?…its # 61 at the challenge gallery 🙂 see you maybe at my Blog, big hugs, Monika
Such a beautiful card! Thank you so much for sharing with us at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. 🙂
Anita, this doesn’t look very quick to me! With all the masking, sponging, edging, layers and whatnot! You are just very skilled at what you do : ) It’s really gorgeous!!
Just look at those scrumptious colors – like sherbet. So effective. Just wanted to let you know that, a day late and a dollar short, I did get my “Getting to Know Me” post up today 🙂
So sweet and gentle! Your little scene definitely made me smile.
And a beautiful sunrise it is Anita!! 🙂 Love the soft colors and the pretty grasses blowing in the wind. Great design with the large sponged panel in the background. Loll xx
This is a beautiful card Anita! I love the pretty colors you have used for this one and your silhouette is so pretty. I so love to look at silhouettes in the evening outside. And your card makes me feel like I’m right out there with the view. Hugs, Brenda
Elegant, classy and truly exquisite! Your grasses at sunset should be framed…perhaps a series of grasses at dawn, afternoon, and sunset…three little images set in a single frame with three apertures. Ohhhh…now that would be a wonderful gift!! Love this! Hugs~c
