Closing the Cabin on Labour Day for As You See It Challenges


I can't believe it is the last weekend in August and Labour Day looms on Monday! Wow! Like where did summer go? We just managed to get the kayak out for the first time last weekend! Seriously?? This year it wasn't smoke that kept us inside, it was rain and busyness.

My card today is for As You See It Challenge's colour challenge #208 - Night Glow! What I envisioned was the last weekend at the summer cottage, closing it up for the season. And the colours in the challenge banner were perfect for that:


The evening sky, the sun setting, the lake reflecting, the bare trees, the few leaves blowing along the dock and the Adirondack chair, a little worse for wear after the long summer, all could be portrayed with these colours plus a couple of neutrals.


  • Now since it is time for my September newsletter to come out next week, this will be the free tutorial that I will be including in with my free monthly newsletter if you are subscribed to it.
  • It is a photo tutorial with step-by-step instructions accompanied by photographs and includes all materials needed along with measurements.
  • The stamp sets and dies that you need include Colourful Seasons stamp set, High Tide stamp set, Winter Woods stamp set, Seasonal Layers dies,  and the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder. The technique you will learn will be how to sponge a background, particularly a sunrise or sunset sky.

  1. What a perfectly relaxing scene! I like the way you've created a deck - the perspective is just right. I love doing these sorts of sponged skies - it's so satisfying.

  2. Thanks, Jan. I seem to be doing more of this scene creating these days, now that I'm not doing as many challenges.

  3. There's a real nostalgia in this tranquil scene you've created Heather and the story you've told around it. Those bare trees and the leaves blowing across the deck really do seem to mark the end of summer.
