A quick card using the Serene Silhouettes stamps set from S.U.
I used lovely lilac and pretty in pink ink to create the circle. I
punched a large hole in a sheet of scrap paper to make a stencil and then applied two way glue around the hole and allowed the glue to dry.
Once dry, I positioned the scrap paper over my white card stock making sure the hole was where I wanted it to be and then sponged through the hole until I had achieved the density of colour I liked.
I then removed the scrap paper and over stamped the sponged circle with the tree from the Serene Silhouette stamp set inked up with black craft ink from S.U. I really like this black craft ink, it is great for doing silhouettes. It does take much longer to dry than the basic ink... but you will never get this result from this classic ink pads.
First I must apologize for the dreadful photography on this one but I was in a rush to get this one in the post this morning. So cardboard box had to do for the background.
I said I had had a busy morning, this is the second project I had to complete before lunch today.
This card is far easier and quicker to make than you may think. I was a little disappointed at how quick it was and felt like I hadn't actually worked at this one at all. So I decided to decorated the inside and the back too.
The inking around the edges is not as obvious on the actual card but some reason in these photos it does stand out more. I used the baby tees wheel stamp and cut out the romper suit leaving a good half inch of paper above the sleeves , I then scored along the shoulder/ sleeve line and folded the excess paper over the coat hanger and stuck it down over the hanger with a foam pad.
The coat hanger I made from a paper clip using jewelers round nose pliers. I rubbed the hanger over a Versamark pad and dipped it in white embossing powder and heated with a heat gun. The brads / paper fasteners for the drawer and door handles were treated the same way.
