Hi there ~ I haven't played along with the CASology Challenge lately, so when I saw their latest cue card I made sure I took the time to create a card.
Since I don't have any sports-related stamps, I went shopping in the Silhouette Store and found this cute little gymnast. I started with a stitched panel, then blended Tumbled Glass ink for the background. I used black textured cardstock for the image and gold embossing powder for the stars (so sorry for the glare).
Supplies:
Stamps: MFT - More essential sentiments
Dies: Silhouette Store - Balance Beam Gymnast (#16477); MFT - Stitched Rectangle STAX
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass; Versafine - Onyx Black; Versamark
Misc: Altenew - Rose Gold Embossing Powder
Love the classy simplicity of this card, Barb. such a fantastic silhouette image, and I love your hint of color in the sponged background.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely soft halo of colour around this fabulous silhouette gymnast, Barb ... the plume of embossed stars is wonderfully magical and adds beautifully to the celebratory feel! Takes me back a few years!! Hugs, Anita :)
