Today over at Blogger's Challenge we were challenged to use some silhouettes this week. I have to say this was definitely a challenge for me as I only have like 2 sets that have these type of images in them. Or maybe I have more and just don't realize it as I never use them.
My first card is not a traditional silhouette, but I went with it anyway :-) I pulled the current colors from the Paper Player's Challenge this week along with the Retro Sketches.
I love the colors and sketch so much, I created 2 cards that are similar but a little different. I went and used my heart silhouette's from the Love2Hug set from The {Stamps} of Life. I love this set from Vintage Notes from Gina K. and I thought the words from Sentimental Birds set from Sweet Stamp Shop would work well.
For my next card I tried the silhouette with a similar layout:
I decided not to add a sentiment on this one on the outside, but I did put a simple one on the inside.
Hope it's cooling off where you are and that we'll see your silhouette's over at Blogger's Challenge.
