Hello and happy Thursday lovely friends. I hope you're having a great week. I'm here today to share my DT card for this week's Krafty Chicks challenge. We are on week 4 which is always 'All Occasions' i.e. birthday, sympathy, new baby, Valentine's, the world's your oyster lol!
I made this card for a crafty friend who had her birthday recently and was inspired by a technique I saw by Gina K Designs. Here is my card:
A closer look:
Of course I decorated the inside:
I began by cutting a white panel 3 3 /4" x 5" and used a circle stencil to mask the area I wanted to ink blend. I used an orange for my sky and a light green for my grass. I went over my ink blending with a cloud stencil using the same orange ink but with a slightly heavier hand and a grass stencil using a slightly darker green ink. I did go over the clouds with a pink ink but I don't think I added enough as you can't really see it. I removed the stencils and stamped the silhouette image in black ink using my Misti tool. I also stamped my sentiment below the image and a small butterfly to the upper left side. I added the panel onto a black card mat with double sided tape and this was also added to my card base with double sided tape. A few black pearls and my card was complete. For the inside I cut the same size panels and on the white panel I stamped my sentiment in black ink and added a portion of the silhouette stamp in the lower left corner. I blended some of the orange ink around it for some added interest. Again I matted the panels with double sided tape and again adhered it to the card base with double sided tape. A very calm and elegant card which I think would also be suitable as a sympathy card by changing out the sentiment.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

So pretty! I love that you stenciled with the same color, just a heavier hand for the sky and grass. The contrast between the colors and the black silhouettes and sentiments is beautiful. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More!
