Silhouette Scenes – Simple Card Tutorial

Silhouette Scenes card

I love this simple and easy silhouette card design. The silhouettes give maximum impact with little work. The Silhouette Scenes set stamps beautifully. They are solid images but they stamp with no fading.

I love silhouettes against either a plain background or inked ones. This stamps set has a nice variety of images and sayings including a girl on a swing. There is also a die set that goes with this set and can be bought for a 10% saving.

Measurements

  • A6 Balmy Blue Card base – (A6 is an A4 sheet cut in half, folded in half)
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm x 10cm

I think this is going to be one of my favourite stamp sets in this catalogue. It is part of a product suite that includes matching designer series paper (DSP) and shimmer embossing powder.

I am very excited about this suite as I love inked backgrounds with the bold black of a silhouette in front of it. Another card that uses this technique is this Thank You card.

Do you like silhouettes? Back in the day, you could go to a fair and there a person who could cut your silhouette out of paper while you waited. I am fascinated by that skill. I believe silhouettes rose in popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries. There were many skilled artists who just focused on this one form. I am very glad that I can stamp mine and don’t have to cut it out freehand.

As usual, there is video and supply list below.

Until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!
