World Card Making Day - Kathryn's Blog Hop Amazing Silhouettes


 
To celebrate World Card Making Day, I decide to host a Blog Hop of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from All Around the World to share a card that they have made and then I have challenged them to post it within a week to someone special - as we sometimes forget to send them and they just gather in a box.

I have decided to ink up the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set for the first time.  This set is a reverse image to most stamps with the image being left in this case white with the surrounding area highlighted with ink.

This is a Faux Centre Step Card, I received the tutorial from South Australian Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Diane Furniss.  I looks amazing but it really is not as complicated as it looks - it's just a few pieces of cardstock folded and glued together to make the structure of the card.

For my centre and side panels I used my sponge daubers direct to the rubber stamp in three shades of green - Parakeet Party, Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow.  Don't forget to "huff" the rubber stamp before putting the rubber to the Basic White cardstock to make it a little moist.  After adhering the stamped Basic White cardstock to the Parakeet Party, I added a sentiment and a few lovely Brushed Brass Butterflies.

Stamp Set:  Amazing Silhouettes
Cardstock:  Parakeet Party, Basic White
Ink:  Parakeet Party, Pear Pizzazz, Mossy Meadow
Accessories:  Cut 'n Emboss Machine, Potted Succulents Dies, Sponge Daubers, Brushed Brass Butterflies

A back/side view of the card, 
there is really only 2 pieces of cardstock that make up this fancy fold card.

  7. Kathryn thanks for all you put in to hosting this wonderful blog hop. What a great way to actively celebrate World Card Making Day. The silhouettes on this card are fabulous, they really show off the beauty of this stamp set and are perfectly matched with the faux step card style. Well done!
