Here's how I created it!
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IKKkIZycUsM/WInBEfIcLlI/AAAAAAAAepE/Ia8EYNxzGaA/%25255BUNSET%25255D.png)
I used the colours Tikka and Rose Frescos Acrylic Paints, which are fabulous chalk finish and work so well in Mixed Media.
Once dry I added some infusions in Cerise and Lemon, spritzed some water and moved the colour around. I also added a little Pixie Dust to
Add some shimmer.

I used a stencil designed by JOFY and French Roast Fresco Acrylic and dried it with a heat gun. The second layer is Chalk Fresco Acrylic applied to create some shadows (bump technique) learnt from Leandra herself from Paper Artsy. On their blog there is a series of videos which show how to use all their products, which is fabulous as when I started my crafting journey I didn't have a clue lol.

Now I wouldn't call myself an expert at this technique but I'm happy with the effect I got, and I knew I was going to paint over it.
I used Dolly Mixture, Autum Fire and Candy Floss Fresco and a small filbert brush(my fave shape) to fill in the colours randomly over the sheet. Once dry I used Distress Crayons in similar colours to add shading and and light.
Here are a few close ups.

Where I went into the dark with my shaky hands, I added a dark brown pencil (inktense by Dewent) to bring back the shadow.
Once dry I cut it up into 6 pieces

You can see I've added some stamping too. I started to play with each individually here are my fav three.
