Fluttering by a Silhouette

We teamed up some of our favorite techniques to make this silhouette card.  It gives us such a tranquil feeling . . . we can almost feel the brush of the butterfly wings!

Masked Silhouettes Card

We masked and sponged and stamped and pierced our way to this gorgeous card.  The message from Fabulous Phrases seemed absolutely perfect for this creation.  An Oval Framelit was used to create the mask which was taped over a piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock just long enough to sponge some soft color of Calypso Coral and Marina Mist Ink blended just right.  A stamped image from one of our favorite stamp sets--Serene Silhouettes--is topped off with a beautiful butterfly created with the Elegant Butterfly Punch and the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set.  There is a second butterfly punched from Midnight Muse Card Stock and tucked behind the stamped butterfly creating a shadowy effect.  The finishing touch is the pierced accent over the wing tops made with the help of the Occasions Paper Piercing Pack and piercing accessories.  The card base features layered Calypso Coral and Midnight Muse Card Stock.  This card feels so good it made us think of our most fabulous of friends so we picked an appropriate greeting from Fabulous Phrases!  All papers, inks, and accessories used in this card are from Stampin’ Up! ©
