CAS Silhouette- The Flower Challenge

Good Morning.

Time for more fun at 
Our theme this month is CAS; Clean and Simple.





My card came together quickly using one of my favourite silhouette stamps.
I began by inking up my Texte Grunge Embossing Folder with Distress inks, sprayed with water and pressed onto my paper.  Instant background.
Next, I placed the Clover Silhouette into my Misti and stamped it in black, then did the sentiment in the same way.
Finally, I diluted a bit of the same ink on my non-stick craft mat and flicked it all over my card front.



Please come and play along with us.
Thanks for looking.

    This is beautiful. Your cards are always beautiful. I think I have zero silhouette stamps. One day I will purchase at least one and hope I can come up with something half as pretty. [Bunny]

    This is lovely, Karen. Using your embossing folder as a press to create such an interesting background was brilliant. Love the way the clover silhouette shows so beautifully against the green and white. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
