357- Oval Silhouettes Card

I have been wanting to make a card with this layout for a while- I feel the ovals give it a really soft look. I also have been wanting to use up some retired DSP and cardstock.

I did a few different things with this card. I didn't have my baha breeze inkpad but I did have my ink refill. I put drops of ink on a tile and stamped from that. The stamp gets overloaded with ink so you have to stamp off once before stamping on your cardstock. It gives a blurred image but still looks nice. I then stamped white over the image to both soften it and give a bit of a shadow. I rolled the oval in the baha breeze and the ink definitely bled in more than it would from an inkpad.

Stamps: Pocket Silhouettes

Paper: Baha breeze, Whisper white, Urban garden DSP

302- Silhouette Congratulations

This is another potential congratulations card for a friend of mine. I tried a new technique on this card that I had not done before- I embossed the sentiment right on the ribbon. I am trying to get to more "simple" stamping- really pretty cards that don't take too long to make. I definitely think this one fits in the category

Helpful hint- make sure you use your embossing buddy and have a q-tip handy- the powder will go into the grosgrain.

Recipe:

Stamps: Pocket Silhouettes, For the bride

Paper: Rich razzleberry, crushed curry, basic black, whisper white

Ink: Basic black, white gel pen

Accessories: Black embossing, scallop circle punch, 1 3/8" 1 1/4" circle punch, 1/2" crushed curry grosgrain ribbon, ticket corner punch

215- Silhouette Card

This card was inspired by a previous card that I had cased using pocket silhouettes. It involved tone on tone stamping on each piece of coloured cardstock, then I two-step stamped on top of the images in white. I saw this on here before and I just loved the effect.

182- Pocket Silhouettes Card

Marni and I were stamping yesterday and she wanted to try the Pocket Silhouettes set. We wanted to do something quick so we went onto splitcoast to find a card. As soon as I saw this one I wanted to try it- the layout is different than others I have done and it was a different colour combo then I would normally do. I absolutely LOVE the final product- and it was such a fast card to make! It is very reproduceable and highly recommended! I also absolutely love the effect the white ink made on the card. All you do is do some tone on tone stamping first with the pocket silhouettes across the piece of cardstock. Then you go over it with the same stamp but in white craft ink. The dimension that you get is amazing!

Stamp Set: Pocket silhouettes

Ink: Baha breeze, kiwi kiss, pacific point, whisper white craft

Paper: Pacific point, kiwi kiss, baha breeze, whisper white, Bella Rose DSP

171- Sympathy Tuxedo Card

Again, another tuxedo card for my aunt's cardbox. I have been coveting this stamp forever but didn't realize we still sold the set- without offending anyone I have always skipped over the religious section of the catalogue, not realizing this was there. I just got it and am so happy- I think it will be a super useful stamp.
