Urban Silhouettes make & take

Well, I finally had my new catalogue launch/open house last Saturday. It’s been a long time coming with everything that’s been happening lately, but better late than never I say! Thanks to all the lovely ladies who came & helped save me from eating all the chocolate cake by myself.

At the launch, I showed projects made with lots of new goodies & there were 2 cards that everyone could make. This was the first make & take:I think it’s a very simple & modern card. The colours are baja breeze, kiwi kiss, not quite navy & white, which I took directly from the striped paper (from the sooo stylish Urban Garden paper pack). The silhouette images from ‘Pocket Silhouettes’ were stamped in kiwi kiss & not quite navy ink. The bracketed best wishes greeting (I just love brackets) from ‘Cute & Curly was stamped in not quite navy ink. Both the image & greeting are punched out with the curly label punch (which comes in a bundle with the Cute & Curly stamp set – this one is going to get a work-out!). You may not be able to see it, but the greeting is mounted with dimensionals onto a punched not quite navy label to give a little more depth. Some of the ladies used smaller greetings punched out with the large oval punch, which looked great....but I forgot to take pics of these. Sorry!

I thought you might like to see some other cards I made with the same supplies:

For this softer monochromatic version, I used the pretty floral print on the other side of the striped paper. The stem images were stamped in baja breeze & not quite navy ink & sit behid a popped frame of not quite navy punched out with the curly label. I added some white taffeta ribbon & an elegant greeting from ‘On Your Birthday’ set, to add to the soft look. Here’s a close up of the frame: For this one, both the stem image & greeting are from ‘Pocket Silhouettes’ & the ribbon is white taffeta.

I’ll be back with the second make & take hopefully tomorrow. Hope you have a great weekend.

Inky wishes
