What a fun new technique challenge Joan! Of course when I got home from work I had trouble finding an appropriate silhouette stamp! Didn't I have a ton of them???!!! guess not.....
I finally found this wonderful over stuffed chair sitting in my drawer of 'home' stamps.
The first time I 'plaid' inked it - the chair disappeared and all you could see was the plaid. So then I tried to 'selectively' ink the top, arms, cushions and bottom separately to give each section definition. (see the link to Joan's tutorial in the challenge in the forums)
I embossed a rectangle nestability first - then stamped the sofa and sentiment. Then I added two pewter pearls to the arms.
I'm glad I didn't stamp this in greens because I think it would have looked like a big toad with pearl eyes! LOL !!
