Seize the Birthday - Silhouette

 

Good morning! This is my last time for a 2 month guest stint for the Seize the Birthday challenge and I want to thank the team for being so very gracious and a pleasure to work with! This week the topping is silhouettes. I love this look and very seldom think to use it.   

 

I started with color blending distress inks on Bristol Smooth Surface paper. My favorite black ink for a crisp outcome is Versafine Clair Nocturne. It is a pigment ink so you have to make sure it's dry before you handle it!

STAMPS: Gradient Sunset (Altenew); Sentiment Suite Birthday (The Greetery).
PAPER: Bristol Smooth Surface; Fine Linen, Bright Buttercup (Papertrey Ink).
INK: Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick, Seedless Preserves distress inks (Ranger); Versamark; Versafine Clair Nocturne.
DIES: Love to Layer: Arches (Papertrey Ink); Ray of Sunshine (Taylored Expressions); Sentiment Suite Basics (The Greetery).
OTHER: Queen's Gold embossing powder (Ranger).
 
Here's hoping you find time to join us... Happy stamping!  ~Wanda

It was great to have you as our Surprise Party Guest for the last two months. I added your blog to my list of blogs to watch. Lol Your card for this challenge was wonderful. I love that you used color with your silhouette. It made for a striking card. Hugs, I will be watching soon.
