Summer Silhouettes - SSC104






I decided to play along with the Sunday Stamps challenge this week.  I love their sketch.


http://sundaystamps.blogspot.ca/2015/06/ssc104-sketch-time.html



For this card I choose to use the stamp set Summer Silhouettes from Stampin’ Up! which is a favorite of mine.  







 

To make the background on the main image I used a brayer and first applied Blushing Bride and then Melon Mambo.   I also sponged Old Olive in the corner.  The flowers stems and leaves were created using Old Olive ink and the flowers "petals" were created using Melon Mambo. The Designer Series Paper is from English Garden DSP. 


 
  

For added interest I used the small butterfly stamp in the Kinda Eclectic stamp set.  After stamping the butterfly image on Whisper White paper with Tempting Turquoise ink I punched it out with the Bitty Butterfly punch and affixed it with a Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I wanted to brighten up the card so I used a gel pen to add some sparkle!




 

 

Thank you for stopping by!  Please leave me a comment - I love to hear from you!
