Small silhouette

Today I have a second piece of inspiration for our Country View Challenge where the theme is Silhouettes hosted by Rachel


Recently I have been looking at my scrap stash and resolved to use more of it in a "Use it or lose it" objective to get things back into control. I'm running out of space....

I picked up a piece of photo paper I had used with Distress Oxides, thinking that it might be a good foil to a black silhouette, and so it proved. 
I simply stamped the Lost Coast Umbrella Woman with black ink and die-cut the panel using the Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies (STAMPlorations). 

If you are new to die-cutting, note that I first cut with scissors the portion of the bag that would have been lost and placed the die under that portion as per the photo:

I added a sentiment from the Born to Roam set (STAMPlorations)  and matted the whole on black cardstock.

I might use this as a card topper, a bookmark, or as part of a quadtych, another UFO project of mine...

I hope I have inspired you to join our Country View Challenge blog, don't forget that there is a £20 voucher for the Country View Craft shop to be won if you do! 
 
Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the Lost Coast Designs challenge.

    A lovely card full of anticipated magic. Superb idea to have the bag extending over the edge as it looks as if she is about to step off the card xxx

    I had to smile when I saw you say "Use it or Loose it" as I've been doing that with my Monday Masterboards. I have to use some stuff up as it's getting silly collecting it but I love the techniques as much as the end product and I think that's the problem. This is a great way to use up some background papers, love it. Happy creative week, Angela xXx
