AmaZing Silhouettes

This month's tutorial features a simple technique perfect for the Dist-INK-tive stamps in the new Amazing Silhouettes bundle! ~ betty Amazing Silhouettes Card Project Inspiration - Amazing Silhouettes Card Can you believe this colourful card was created with a single stamped image? It's true! The butterfly image looks complex but all it takes is ink, Sponge Daubers, and a spritz of water to make the magic!
The Amazing Silhouettes Bundle (#157819) is really unique, and I love it! It has layering die cut words with the Amazing Thanks Dies (#157814) and the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set (#157814) is a Dist-INK-tive set that creates a faux emboss resist effect by stamping "around" the image and leaving a negative space. Try it with patterned paper or heat embossing for even more amazing looks! Let's flit off and create something beautiful! Project - Step 1 1. Stamp & Fold Cut Polished Pink cardstock to 4-1/4" x 11". Score at 5-1/2" along the 11" side. Randomly stamp edges of card with the butterfly stamp using VersaMark ink for a subtle texture.
Project - Step 2 2. Add Layers Cut Heart & Home diagonal wood patterned paper to 3" x 5-1/2". Adhere to 3-1/4" x 5-1/2" Basic Black cardstock. Adhere to center of card front. Adhere 4" x 5-1/4" Basic White cardstock inside for a writing area. Project - Step 3 3. Die Cut Greeting Die cut "thanks" from the Amazing Thanks Dies (#157816). Cut the background from Basic Black and the detailed word from Polished Pink cardstock. Adhere together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue or adhesive of your choice.
Project - Step 4 4. Sponge Stamp Dist-INK-Tive stamps created a multi-shaded image and work best with a lighter application of ink. Sponge Daubers are a great option. Use Sponge Daubers to add Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Polished Pink ink to the stamp. Cover about 1/3 of the image with each colour, but overlap sections of the stamp a bit to blend. Project - Step 5 5. Spritz & Stamp Spritz sponged stamp with 2-3 spritzes of water using a Stampin' Spritzer (#126185). Let the water sit for about 15 seconds. Place 2-3/4" square piece of Basic White at a diagonal, like a diamond, and stamp. Hold the stamp in place for a count of 10 to let the ink absorb well. Adhere to a 3" square of Basic Black.
Project - Step 6 6. Embellish Adhere stamped butterfly to card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. Wrap Black Baker's Twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack (#155475) around the top front of the card and tie in a bow. Adhere die cut greeting with liquid glue. Add several Polished Pink jewels from the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels (#155571) to the card front.

I'm seeing STARS

I think I was feeling nostalgic for Ruby Red, River Rock, Soft Sky and Bayou Blue when I started this set. I wanted to create something not at all feminine but it didn't turn out as particularily masculine. I only had scraps of River Rock and was lacking in matching ribbon as well so it was a bit more challenging than I anticipated. I planned to use a the inks that matched and a stamp set I really like and have been hanging on to since Spring 2008 {pictured below} but once I got my Big Shot and my Stars #2 Die out all the plans changed. This set was offered with a 5"x5" little album and papers and cardstock stickers in Pumkin and Olive and Bashful Blue which I also still have a few pieces left from now that I think about it. I feel some more inspiration coming on. I enjoyed the kit so much because I made a lovely little album for my elderly cousin Eda with a collection of photos from her yearly family picnics. I put the finishing touches on it in the car on the way there
