Floral Silhouette

Happy Monday!  It's Lindsey today sharing another card I made for Challenge Four using the middle row: silhouette, distress inks, and stacked sentiment.

I discovered that using a die was the easiest way to have a true silhouette, and the star of the show here is the Brushed Blooms die from Papertrey Ink.  I had intended to use a pink silhouette on a white card base, but after die-cutting the flower, the white paper below peeked through the negative image, and I decided to switch gears.  And I'm so glad I did!  I think the change really allows the silhouette to shine.  I used an inlaid die cutting technique here.  This technique is so much easier now that I've watched Laurie Willison's video on using Press n' Seal to hold the little die-cut tidbits in place.

For my second element, I blended some Peacock Feathers Distress Ink in an ombre fashion, die-cut hello, and triple layered it.  I wanted a more subtle stacked sentiment, so I stamped the second part directly onto the card base.  And that's it! :)  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope I've inspired you to try out Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #4 for the first time...or again if you've already played along!
