Silhouettes and Sunsets



Sparkle N Sprinkle has a new set called Silhouettes that just begs to be stamped on a sunset – so I did!! Twice!!


I created the background for these cards using the Sponging Color with Inks technique in SNS’ Tips and Techniques.  I added color around a die cut post-it and then removed it.  After adding a little more yellow to the remaining circle, I stamped the image in black. 


For the first card, I cut out the image from the center of the card, added layers, and added it back to the center of the outer frame.  I wrapped it with ribbon, added a sentiment, and layered it on a purple card base.


The second card is similar, but I added a resist shadow affect by stamping the image with VersaMark ink on the card before adding the background ink.  Then I simply stamped the image again in black, slightly offset.  I also used the flower only image to stamp around the edge of the background purple layer.

You can find more details about these cards in today’s post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog and the complete instructions for these cards in my SNS gallery here and here

Happy almost May!!
