Sihouette Flowers

I visited the Stamp Hut earlier this week, and spent some of my birthday money on a few bits'n'pieces...and I've used one of the stamps I bought on today's cards...it's called 'Silhouette Flowers' by Hero Arts:


Challenges for both cards:
On the first card, I started by blending 'Wild Honey', 'Spiced Marmalade' and 'Fired Brick' Distresss Inks on a piece of white card, before stamping the flower stamp using Versamark, and embossing it with clear embossing powder. I then belnded 'Black Soot' Distress Ink over the top (cleaning any excess ink off the embossed part) to create a 'silhouette' effect. The sentiment stamp on this card is from the 'Anytime Messages' set.


Challenges for this card:
On the second card, I blended 'Old Paper' Distresss Ink on a piece of white card, before stamping a Hero Arts 'Music' Background stamp (from the 'Serenade' collection with BasicGrey) on it in 'Pumice Stone'. I then stamped the flower stamp over the top using Versamark, and once again embossing it with clear embossing powder. This time I blended 'Spiced Marmalade' and 'Fired Brick' inks over the top. The sentiment on this card is from the 'Sending Sunshine' set by Simon Says Stamp.

    Gorgeous cards. I usually shy away from silhoutte style stamps, but I love what you've done with it. Hmm, might have to pull out a couple of mine and give it a go. Thanks for sharing with us at Crafty Creations this week.
