Vintage Silhouette Note Card

by | Apr 29, 2017 | Uncategorized | 22 comments

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.

    Wow! Gorgeous! Your card design with all the feminine elements is the perfect setting for the cameo image. Just wonderful. I’m always stamping ahead, too, and cannot find time to create specifically for challenges, especially those that last only a week. Two weeks, maybe. I’m so glad you were able to create this pretty thing for our Silhouettes Challenge at Double D!

      The white ‘fuzzy’ paper is mulberry paper Karen. I just LOVE it and I use it on almost all of my cards. I talk about how I use it and where I get it on this video if you want to take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCIFlRxTzPY&t=2s Happy crafting!
