Silhouette scenes.. boy with plane

This is the card I posted on the demonstrators website it's had over 550 likes plus  a lot of comments , one of which was asking for a tutorial.  I am having issues again with videos so I've put together a photo tutorial in the post below. 

It's not a difficult card to make and doesn't take a great deal of time to do. 

 The stamp sets use are silhouette scenes and natures beauty, plus a few stamps from Lavinia Stamps. 

The Stampin' Up ink colours I used are; barely banana , melon mambo, highland heather, balmy blue and  black Versamark . 

Bleach splatters were applied after I had brushed the colours on and before stamping the black silhouettes.

 I use different foliage  stamps and changed the order of the colours on this .

The boy with binoculars  is from  the silhouette scenes stamp set too. I also sponged the  base card on this one, but I am not sure I like this though. The wisteria, rabbit and toadstool stamps are  from Lavinia stamp.

The girl on a swing is from the silhouette scenes stamp set. The foliage at the bottom of this scene are from the  retired Stampin' up set called pocket silhouettes. The branch and leaf stamp are from Lavinia stamps.

Natures Beauty.

These cards I made using the Nature's Beauty stamp set from Stampin' Up.

I coloured the images with Copic markers. I used a white Posca paint pen to add the snowflakes.

The background of the card above was coloured using cool grey Copics C1, C2 and C3

I used warm greys for the rabbit.W1 W3 and W5

On the card below I used cool lilacs for the background. BV02 prune and  BV000 iridescent mauve. 

I went to the Farnborough create it show in February a bought an emboss and cut folder. I have never used these type of folders before and I have to say I had a few issues with this one. It didn't like the weight of card I usually use to make cards so I had to use a lighter weight card for this to cut properly.  Then I mounted the  cut and embossed frame onto a  heavier weight base card, sandwiching my image in between.

 I can't remember which set the seasonal greetings came from.
