I was asked to be a Guest Designer by Tracey at Starving Artistamps- Ummm, YEAH! She told me to pick out some stamps, and the first section I headed to was the Silhouette Flowers. I love the way they look in black on a brayered BG, but they also look amazing when you color them!
I colored these with sage shadow, blush blossom and pretty in pink SU markers before I stamped it on the very vanilla CS. It was matted on basic grey and the I added a soft sky scalloped edge on the bottom.
The base of the card was sky with grey ink rubbed on the edge. I then added some K&CO. DP and some blush CS, hiding the seam with the pink ribbon. I pierced the holes around the sentiment to add a bit more punch to the word.
I used my Martha Stewart butterfly punch on shimmery vellum (WorldWin Papers), gluing down the body only. I then added some Doodlebug Sugared Brads from All That Scraps. It was then attached to the card with dimensionals. Hope you like it, as I have a few more to share with you. Have fun and happy stamping!!
congratulations, Julie! I love the cards you've posted with the silhouettes & horses.
