While commuting home from work yesterday, I caught the most amazing sunset. The sun was low enough that I could look into it (sunglasses in place, of course) without burning my eyes. It was a gorgeous deep red-orange, like the color of a tiger lily. The clouds were bright shades of magenta and pink. The colors blended so beautifully with the twinkling lights of the bay bridge. I tend to catch a lot of sunsets during my evening drives home lately. The days are getting shorter, so winter must be right around the bend. Although with our 77 degree temperatures, it certainly doesn’t feel like winter! On evenings like these, I fall in love with the California bay area all over again.
In anticipation of the blue-gray winter that will be here soon enough, I made a blue-gray themed card with some red to spice things up. Can you tell I’m obsessed with cupcake stamps? I couldn’t stop myself from buying this set after I saw that Stampin’ Up added it to their list of October 20% off promotion stamps. I totally needed it, I swear.
I don’t know what’s worse, my stamp collection or my shoe closet.
Card Recipe (all supplies SU unless otherwise noted): Card stock in whisper white, basic gray, & baja breeze, Big Bold Birthday stamp set (109439), ink in real red & baja breeze, 1/4 inch ribbon in real red, flower from flower fusion 2 embellishment kit, stampin’ dimensional stickers.

Cute card (as always)!
