AAA Cards Challenge has a new challenge out this week - Game 210, Sketch + Silhouette. Tomorrow is a friend's birthday, so I used the challenge as inspiration for a masculine card for him.
This image with three Kokopellis dancer/flautists silhouetted is from the very beginnings of my stamping days. They were originally attached to a wooden block, but I couldn't get a clean enough image stamped, so a couple of years ago I pulled them off the wood so I could use them with my Misti. I started this card with ivory cardstock. I die-cut a circle in a piece of light paper and blended Hero Arts "Butter Bar" (love that color) and PTI "Orange Zest" as the background shape. I followed this by a Tim Holtz spatter stamp with Orange Zest and finished with the three silhouettes in Hero Arts "Black Tuxedo". The sentiment is a colored strip of paper woven through a couple of openings in the face of the top layer.
I had this scrap of rice paper with Native American symbols on it that has been in my stash for quite a long time. It seemed like a good choice for an envelope/wrapper for the card. I reinforced the flap with a couple of cardstock circles and a black eyelet and threaded black twine with beads through it.
What a fabulous card, Fran!!! And that envelope is absolutely perfect!!!
