Silhouettes

Did you ever cut out silhouettes when you were a kid? You know…the elementary school project where you sit on a stool with the light projecting your shadow on the wall where a classmate traced it out? I always thought that was the coolest thing. Now silhouette images and stamps are also super cool and quite popular these days. They are so super simple to stamp and can also be used for a myriad of fun techniques. Whether you simply stamp them, “rock and roll” them, glitter or flock them, add fun embellishments or fun resist techniques….your challenge today is find ways to use these images.

The Sun Never Sets

Ok…I’m not really an Elvis fan…somehow I missed out on all of that but I’m just LOVIN’ this silhouette image. Is he lookin cool or what? Inspired by the sentiment…I just had to stamp his silhouette in front of a sun. Paired up with this new Ambrosia Basic Grey paper...I love the fun retro feel. Now you can’t have Elvis without a little bling right? 😉 I was pretty tickled to find that my orange MAMBI rhinestone circle fit perfectly around my circle punched sentiment. If you’re an Elvis fan…Comeback Elvis will be released tomorrow (Friday) at Cornish Heritage Farms.

 Have a fabulous day!
