Autumn Park Silhouette

Hi, friends!

It's design team member Walter on the blog today. By now you've heard me say several times how much I love creating vintage themed cards.  Today's creation is another example of this.  I fell in love with the IBFS Silhouette Stamp Set as soon as I saw it.  One of the larger stamps in the set is this beautiful scene set in a park.  I decided to use it in a monochromatic palette to make it look older and thought it would be really fun to have a burlap frame around it.  The result is a beautifully nostalgic scene that may be used for so many different occasions.  Let's jump into my creative process.




Here's what I used to make it:

Here's how I made it:
  • Ink blended the card panel with Lost Shadow ink.

  • Stamped the image onto card panel with black ink.
  • Stamped the woman on bicycle just below the image to make it look like a path used for walking and riding.

  • Ink blended some Vintage Photo and Scorched Timber along the path to darken it.
  • Used an oval die to cut the center out of the burlap panel.

  • Used a brown alcohol marker to darken the inside rim of the burlap panel.

  • Spritzed the card panel and burlap panel with Tean Stain, Vignette Mist, and Ice Grey Mist and let them dry.

  • Used craft glue to adhere the burlap panel over the card panel.
  • Ran the Scorched Timber ink pad along the combined panel.
  • Attached card panel to card base using double sided tape.
  • Stamped the sentiment onto the card in Scorched Timber and the stamped it again with Golden Glitz ink.
  • Attached pearl gems to the corners.
I really love this scene so much!  It has such a nostalgic feeling to me.  This is one card that I may end up framing and using as a decoration!

Thanks for spending some time reminiscing with me today!  See you again soon.
