Serene Silhouette – Tutorial #542

Hey There,

I have a card tutorial for you today that uses one of my favorite techniques, direct to paper and one of my favorite Stampin’ Up! stamp sets, Serene Silhouettes.

I think this card would be great for a few different occasions.  What do you think?

Stick around and check out the tutorial for this project below.

Started with a 3.5″ square piece of Whisper White card stock.  Lightly dragged the So Saffron ink pad across the card stock (direct to Paper).

Lightly Dragged the Pool Party ink pad across the card stock.

Masked the water portion with a Post it Note just leaving 1/8″ of the water showing above the post it note.  Sponged Baja Breeze ink to create a hill.   Sponged Marina Mist ink at the bottom of the hill shape.

Removed the post it note mask and sponged Old Olive ink at the bottom of the card stock.

Stamped the flower silhouette stamp using Basic Black ink.   Sponged Basic Black ink at the very bottom of the card stock.

Embossed a 3.5″ x 5.5″ piece of Old Olive card stock using the Argyle Embossing Folder and Big Shot Machine.   Punched a 1 3/8″ Pool Party square and cut it in half.

Added a 4.25″ x 5.5″ Pool Party card base, a 3.75″ square panel of Always Artichoke card stock.  Put the corners under the main image/Artichoke panel.

Here is the finished card measuring 4.25″ x 5.5″.
