Faulty Break of Dawn

It's Monday already! I'm back with a card I made for the Mix-Ability challenge, that my little ol' self is hostess on Splitcoaststampers. We are have some Faulty Fun for the week.

If you want to have some fun with mixed media and use supplies you already have in your stash, we have the challenges for you. Go check out MIX156: Faulty Fun for a little creativity incorporating a fault line that slides, shifts or slips in a project that includes 2 or more mediums. 

My fault line happens to be the break of dawn in this mixed media card that uses three different coloring mediums, plus ink to stamp the image onto watercolor paper.

It was so much fun to add spontaneous bits of color and m favorite are the light night lights on in the sky scraper and warehouse building.
