It's cue word time at the House of Cards: silhouette! I think of all sorts of things like shadows, sunsets/sunrises, dusk, old timey profile silhouettes, even my Silhouette Cameo. The possibilities abound so come join in the fun!
For my card, I created a powdered dye background which always turns out as a surprise. This time I was reminded of a meadow at dusk where the colors are starting to deepen so I made that my theme. And, unfortunately, I've depleted my supply of sympathy cards and thought this card would fit the bill nicely. I added a black strip on the left because it felt right--I know you know what I mean--and used a soft gray base.
The Details: Inkadinkado Meadow, Clearly Besotted Thinking of You, Tim Holtz watercolor paper, Recollections 110lb white cardstock base, pale gray mystery paper that I love, Versafine Onyx Black, Jacquard Acid Dyes
Such a beautiful card! Stunning background! :)
