More silhouettes for the August Country View crafts challenge

  Hi everyone this is my second design team make for our current August challenge over in the Country View Crafts challenge Facebook group. The link is Here and if you are not already a member just request to join and we will warmly welcome you. It is also be a place you can be the first to hear about workshops, the latest releases etc etc. We have a happy membership of over 400 crafters and we are growing every day. You can enter the challenges up to 5 times as you like as long as you use products from brands which are stocked on the Country View Website. 

The theme for this month is "Silhouettes" and I made this card. I love working with bold backgrounds and striking silhouettes. This one combines regular and pearl alcohol inks on Yupo for a vibrant shimmering effect.

This is how it came together;

I made this alcohol ink background on Yupo using a mix of regular and pearl inks. 


I die cut a couple of gentleman in black card and chose 1 to use.  This die set is in my Tim Holtz stash but Susan has a huge selection of his dies including the new Halloween Classics here. I also used a sticker from his metallic sticker book




I die cut some stacked hearts in yellow card and added my sticker to the larger one. 


I then die cut a couple of mischievous cats and put my design together. My finishing touch was some die cut hearts in white glitter card. 


here is one more close up


and a final photo of my card. 


I have linked the products I used which are available on the website within my post. If they are not in stock just email Susan, who should be able to order them in for you.
