Beautiful You Silhouette with Rainbow Inking

Good morning!

I held a class at my home a few weeks ago and I just wanted to share one of the cards we made. I totally love creating this kind of background so I thought I would get the ladies to get all inky!

To create the background I simply used sponges to swipe colour across the card. I then stamped my dancing lady from Beautiful You, and coloured her with my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to make her into a silhouette. I then added a few strokes of Wink Of Stella to give a little shimmer to the card.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and then I added various Stampin' Emboss Powders to create the rainbow effect.

*TIP - I masked off the word 'gorgeous' on the stamp using a Post-It note so I had the sentiment I wanted.

I love using this technique...have you ever tried it? If not, give it a go and let me know how you got on!

Hope to see you soon!

A late Less Is More card!

Good morning LIMettes! 

It's good to be back with the early morning crafting after missing last week's challenge at Less Is More! I didn't enter the One Layer, Witches, Wizards and Monsters challenge because I couldn't think of anything to make! Yup...you got me Chrissie and Jen! I did keep popping over for a peek though and there were some really fun creations!

I am pleased to be back this week, even if I am a little late...I had a much deserved lie in!

The challenge this week is...

TREES

So here is something I have made...I've been playing a little actually.

I first of all sponged inside one of the Labels Collection Framelits with Soft Sky for my background. I then stamped the tree and birds from the Serene Silhouettes set in Early Espresso.

The sentiment is stamped in Pool Party and is from the Hostess set Morning Meadow. I finished by inking the edges of the sentiment and the main image panel before attaching to the card. The layout is from the challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch...
