Silhouettes ...

... is what it's all about at FSC now!
Come check it out and have fun with us!

I chose to use a diecut to make a silhouette of the butterflies and swirls. Sponged over the diecut with distress inks.
I did it twice, it was fun.

Unique colors ...

 I used a very unique color, and unique stamps from Katzelkraft. 
Unusual color for me, anyway, the milled lavender distress ink. 
The background has been made with acrylic paint, added to the background with a scraper. The swirls are white heat embossed. 

 I made a tag, but then decided to attach it to a card. 


I am entering this in the challenge on
1. Stampotique designers challenge - masculine

Collaged elegance...

 
Today I chose to use 3 stamps to make a collaged card.
I think I have a new favourite Katzelkraft stamp: the stamp in the background.
I started off with a background coloured with Color Wash. For me that is always a good start- you don't have to think about the colors you want to use... just pick a background that suits the stamps, and voila. 


I am entering this in the challenge on 
Simon Says Stamp -  Tick tock - the clock is in the background of the main stamped image.
