Sometimes the simplest techniques create the most striking cards, and today’s Thinking of You cards are a perfect example of that. By stamping directly onto patterned paper, you can achieve depth, atmosphere, and impact with very little effort – ideal for quick makes or batch card making.

For these cards, I’ve used the Peaceful View stamp set. This is a single, beautifully detailed stamp that does all the hard work for you. The silhouetted scene creates instant drama and works wonderfully when stamped straight onto designer series paper.

Stamp on Patterned Paper for Instant Impact

Both cards feature Beautiful Bokeh DSP, which provides a soft, dreamy background that really enhances the silhouette image. Stamping directly onto patterned paper saves time and allows the background to shine through, adding texture and interest without extra layers.

The first card uses Calypso Coral tones, stamped in Night of Navy. This combination creates a softer, almost twilight feel while still keeping the image bold and defined.

For the second card, I switched to Daffodil Delight DSP and stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black. This gives a stronger contrast and a brighter, uplifting look, showing just how versatile this single stamp can be.

A Simple Sentiment Finishes the Card

To keep the focus on the stamped scene, I added a small sentiment from the Greetings for You ephemera pack. These pre-cut sentiments are perfect when you want a clean, polished finish without extra stamping or die cutting.

Both cards are ideal for sending a thoughtful message, whether someone needs a little encouragement or you simply want to let them know you’re thinking of them.

Dancing in the Rain – Art Journal Page

I have a new art journal page to share with you today. This is a companion piece to my previous page which I will link below. This page is a couple dancing in the rain in the evening. My previous one was a girl swinging in the sunset.

I used our fluid 100 watercolour paper again which takes colour beautifully. Watercolour painting is very forgiving and I find soothing to the soul. I’ve used reinkers here to paint with. The colours are Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Night of Navy. They blend to create this gorgeous purple colour.

I’ve been interested in mixed media for a number of years now. Mixed media is really the application of a mixture of mediums and techniques to create an art piece. I’ve used stamping, watercolouring and stencilling here.

I love to use watercolour but also enjoy painting with acrylic paints. Unfortunately Stampin’ Up! don’t sell acrylic paints but you can mix our reinkers with gesso to create some of your own.

The stamp set I used is one fell in love with the minute I saw it, Silhouette Scenes. It comes with a matching die set as a bundle for a saving of 10% which is always good.

Here are some other similar projects

There are a video tutorial and supply list below as always.

Thank you for dropping by and I hope you enjoyed this project. Until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!

Sunset Silhouette – Art Journal Page

Today I have an art journal page featuring a sunset Silhouette to share with you, Stampin’ Up! style. This page uses the Silhouette Scenes stamps that I love. Stampin’ Up! brought out some new watercolour paper this year. This is my first time using it and it is amazing !!!

To be truthful I wasn’t sure where I was going when I started this page but I love the colours. The watercolour paper makes blending these colours a doodle. I have used So Saffron, Mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie and they go together beautifully to produce this sunset silhouette page.

As with all painting and colouring, the trick is to layer colours, textures and images to achieve your overall picture. You can always add more colour but taking it away again is not so easy!!

This piece has a mixed media feel to it as I have used die cuts, stamps, ink and stencils in the piece. Mixed media art is a piece of artwork that combines various techniques, textures and mediums in one piece as in this sunset silhouette page.
