Hello, welcome and Happy New Year!! I certainly hope you had a fabulous Christmas and a safe New Year gatherings. Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we are being sponsored by Beccy's Place. I would like to thank them for their sponsorship of this week's challenge. My card today is using one of the free images Beccy has on her blog. I love the quote by Helen Keller. Now why have I not used this image before now is beyond me.
Once I had printed out the silhouette image onto Neenah white cardstock, I decided to try ink blending the background to make it look like a sunset using several Tim Holtz distress inks and my blending brushes before layering and adding some tiny black brads. The card is dry embossed using my dusty Bird Call Cuttlebug embossing folder with my Big Shot©. After pouncing black ink over the raised images, I added it to a black card with black/blue fibers running along the edges. I then added the silhouette image panel using glue dots before adding some forgotten black bling. I'm really please with how this turned out. Fortunately, I had it completed before this last migraine started.

ReplyDeleteGreat way to use that folder! And I like how you managed to ink blend on the digi, sometimes I get a smudged mess. XOX
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scene and that embossing folder works so well with the image.
