Vintage Silhouette Note Card

Hi friends. Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend. I have something different for you today. I did a card specifically for a challenge. Go figure!
I actually am never really able to do that because I have to work way ahead because I have limited time in my craft room, but when I saw the Silhouette themed challenge up on the Double ‘D’ Challenge blog, I had the PERFECT image to use and I just had to go for it. Of course that meant last minute scrambling to get it done in time, but I did. So proud of myself!!
This also isn’t my usual style, but I’m pleased with the results. I created my background paper while playing around with my Distress Oxide Ink Pad Set. I would list the colors I used, but it was one of those ‘don’t know when to stop’ deals, and I pretty much used all the browns, pinks and a little red. It doesn’t show up as well as I’d like in the photos, but the background is a bit of a mottled brown. I did spritz it and dry it with my Heat It Craft Tool several times while building layers of color. I’m still in the playing stage with these fun new inks. I used the same paper with a little more pink ink added for every other layer in my roses along with solid brown cardstock that I inked a little with an old script stamp using worn lipstick Distress Oxide Ink.
I also want to give a shout out to ‘stampoutonline’ on Etsy where I got my cool new ‘Handmade by’ stamp. I just love the cool font they used. They have lots of great style options and their customer service is top notch, so if you need a custom stamp, stop over and take a look. Tell ’em Bonnie from Make Time to Craft sent you over. (I have no affiliation with them, I’m just really pleased with my order and the service I received.)My bi-color bow was created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool using Coral Rose and Turftan Brown Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I also ran a piece of Coral Rose Checkerboard Satin Ribbon across the middle of the card under the image.
