One of the things I love about the blogging world is being able to ask for advice when things aren't quite right with a project. I'm doing this here.... Over at the Play Date Cafe their challenge this week is a Colour Splash – more specifically black & white a splash of GREEN. Green is not really a favourate of mine, and inspiration was lacking so I decided to try another card for this weeks Less is More challenge (pick a square) as the previous one wasn’t quite right (should of left the ribbon off!) and I also wanted something to enter this into the Artistic Stamper Challenge which is ‘Ladies and Girls’. I’m not at all sure about it – I used a stencil and sprayed some Dist
ress re-inker mixed with water, onto which I stuck this silhouette, which is from one of the new stamp sets by Stamp Addicts and just added the Penny Black sentiment. The idea worked in my head – not sure it has on paper..or card! Suggestions anyone..??? Esther xx

ReplyDeleteI like it! I love that unique paper! ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely card, like that silhouette.
ReplyDeleteHi Esther, Very pretty card, perhaps your image would be more prominent if you had inked the edges of the mask VERY lightly with the same distress ink(with cut and dry foam) to show the mask shape behind that pretty silhouette? Tell me to get lost but you did ask LOL Have fun, hugs:0) xxx
ReplyDeleteFabulous Esther, I love the silhouette against the green. A lovely shade of green as well.

Honestly esther, I really like this.... perhaps you aren't happy with it because of the texture of the paper? It's a wee bit distracting??? Otherwise I can't see why you're concerned about it!!! Jo x
ReplyDeleteI really like your design and think the green background is a fab setting for your stamp :)

Well, this is so different and neat! I love the deep texture your paper and edges have. The silhouette is different and elegant. Thanks so much for playing with us at The Cafe this week!
ReplyDeleteActually Esther, I think that the edge of the splatter is a little too defined, if it gradually faded to nothing it would be great, but this a so difficult to achieve in a small space. Maybe if the edge of your mask was a little more randomly shaped it might work... however having said this it's fine as is.
ReplyDeleteShe looks as though she's jumping for joy!
Thanks so much.
