"Forever" in Silhouette - Hand Stamped Sentiments #317

This card was made for the sketch challenge with Hand Stamped Sentiments #317.  Because I wanted to use an image from the new Silhouette stamp set I took the liberty of changing the orientation of the oval focal piece.

The Night of Navy card base was first layered with Whisper White card stock and then 2 panels of different sizes of "See a Silhouette" DSP was added.   Each DSP panel was matted with Night of Navy card stock.  The image piece was added to the card front using dimensionals and overlap both DSP panels.

Wrapped around and added to the lower portion of the left panel is a piece of 3/8" Curry Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon and bow made from the ribbon.

Image:

It's been a while since I used the Brusho Crystals, but I used them now to create a light watercolor background wash on Water color paper.  Later I realized that I could have used the "See a Silhouette" DSP as one of the patterns looks much like a Brusho background.

Against this watercolor wash background, the image of two people under an umbrella was embossed using black embossing powder.  I added some sparking stars in the background using the new Shimmer White embossing powder.  The embossed image was die cut using a Layering Oval die, and matted with a slightly larger Night of Navy oval.  The two oval pieces were adhered together using dimensionals after which it was added to the card front.

Sentiment:

After die cutting the word "Forever" from the "Sweet Silhouette" dies and Poppy Parade card stock adhered to a piece of adhesive sheet (retired), I added to some Vellum notched at both ends to give it some stability.  I then added it  over the lower part of the image piece.

To finish the card I added some Old Olive enamel dots to the lower bottom right of the card front picking up the Old Olive colour in the DSP.
