A Silhouette Hello

Hi, everyone! I hope your weekend has been great so far! We're enjoying a leisurely Sunday at home -- that doesn't happen for us very often! I got to spend a little time cutting up some new rubber from Cornish Heritage Farms. I really think there's something therapeutic about trimming a new set of stamps -- does anyone else feel that way?!? This set is Silhouette Blooms I, from The Kim Hughes Collection. As soon as I finished trimming it I wanted to ink it up right away. I picked up a scrap of paper (from the Kaleidoscope 12x12 pack by My Mind's Eye), and I built the card around it. I don't think this is my usual style or colors at all, but I do like it! I stamped the sentiment and one of the flower images on the paper in Basic Gray ink, stamping off a few times also, and I stamped the other image on the oval in Taken With Teal and Basic Gray. I sponged around the oval with Taken With Teal, and I pierced the scallops. The ribbon is Basic Grey taffeta and retired SU! velvet. The panels are mounted on dimensionals.

That's about it! I'm planning to play some more with this set and the others I received in my order from CHF, so I'll have more to share this week! Thanks for stopping by! :)
