Serene Silhouetts

Are you looking for a stamp set with images that lend themselves to many different looks and techniques? Serene Silhouettes is a great choice & is my current favorite set.

This is a card I created for one of my swaps for Leadership.

Serene Silhouetts thumping techniqueHere are the supplies I used:

Perfect Punches # 117022(w) #120516 (c)

Inks: Pretty in Pink, Perfect Plum, Garden Green Stampin’ Write Markers. Perfect Plum Classic Ink Pad.

Paper: Perfect Plum, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White

Misc.: Punches- Itty Bitty Punch Pack #118309, modern label #119849, Pretty in Pink stitched grosgrain ribbon #126880, Big Shot  Die Cutting Machine #113439, Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue # 110755

I used the “thumping” technique on the flowers to give them a 2-tone look. To create the “ticket” corners  on the Pretty in Pink mat I punched them out using the circle punch that comes in the Itty Bitty Punch Pack, only inserting the corner about 1/3 in. I just love this trick and use it quite frequently on my paper crafts, cards and scrapbook pages. You can vary the size of your corners by using different size circle punches.

Until we meet again,
