Amazing Silhouettes

Amazing Silhouettes was a free set that I got from Stampin' Up! for attending one of their conferences. I'm not sure I would have purchased this set on my own but I might was well use it since I have it! Here are three cards using this set. 

This card has a Gorgeous Grape base. I used the blending brush to add some ink to the Basic White background cardstock. The butterfly does have Wink of Stella on it but you can't see it.

Amaryills Bloom

I got this Amaryills Abloom as a gift from another demonstrator. I have to admit that I wasn't so sure about it when I got it. I did play with though and while I'm pleased with what I made, I'm still not sure about this stamp set. 

I started with Soft Succulent cardstock for the card base. I added a layer of Tidings of Christmas that I tied a piece of gold ribbon around. I die cut a piece of Basic White and Cherry Cobbler with the dies from Hippo & Friends labels. Then I stamped the flower with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. The greeting was stamped with Evening Evergreen ink.

Festive Foliage

Did you notice this large background stamp in the July-December mini catalog? It was pretty easy to miss but WOW is it easy to use and make some fantastic cards! This background is called Festive Foliage.

I heat embossed the image onto Evening Evergreen with gold embossing powder. I wrapped that layer with Soft Succulent ribbon and added the greeting which was also heat embossed with gold embossing powder. Super simple! This would be really easy to mass produce.
