Happy Saturday!
With so many birthdays coming up in the next few months, I was happy to have some time to play and created this masculine, collage style card.
I began by masking off a piece of white cardstock using some Post-It tape. I first did some acetate inking in the background using just 2 colours of Distress Oxides; Peeled Paint and Bundled Sage, rubbed onto a piece of clear acetate.
I placed the piece inside my Misti, then stamped using the same colours and sponged along the edges to help define the main area.
The Rock Silhouette is a new one for me from Impression Obsession and I stamped that using some black Memento ink, then added the sentiment.
After I removed the tape for masking, I scored a line around the inked area as a frame.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Love how you've used the same two colours of green for the background and for the stamping, it looks fabulous. Great silhouette image and perfect fro the sentiment x.
