There's a new challenge just starting over at Muse and, following the recent departure of our wonderful teamie, Michele, we've had a bit of a reshuffle so I'll now be your designer for the first challenge of each month.
The challenge at Muse is to draw any kind of inspiration from the designer's creation each week, so this could be the layout, technique, colours...whatever you like really. So without further ado, here's my card to hopefully inspire you this week. I think this is a little different for me, ink blending and stencilling and not much white space. It's always good to try different styles.
On a white cardstock panel slightly smaller than my card base I began by blending three Distress Inks to create the appearance of a sunset. I then laid a stencil of stems over the top and blended with a purple, blue and black to create the silhouettes. I stamped the simple sentiment in the top corner and mounted it onto a dark purple panel before adhering flat to my card base.
Materials used:
- Ink: Distress Ink - Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Dusty Concord, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot; Versafine - Onyx Black
- Stencil: STAMPlorations - ARTplorations Bloom Silhouettes
- Stamp: S P & Company - Just a Note
- Coloured Cardstock: Papermania

ReplyDeleteI love sunset silhouettes and this one is a real beauty!
ReplyDeleteAwesome design! Love it very much. When I first saw your card I was puzzeling how you did the silhouettes. I suspected it must be a die-cut or a stamp. But it's a stencil! So fun!
