Sympathy Silhouette

Photo Details

Poster: susanbri

WT688 = Spotlight on Silhouettes

I love silhouettes on backgrounds I create so decided to do another one for this challenge.

My sympathy card stash is low and what is there is all very feminine so decided to make a masculine sympathy card.

I masked a rectangle on some coated cs and brayered with Frayed Burlap ink. I flicked some water on it with my fingers and got one very big wet droplet that lifted all the colour where it landed and a few other nicer splats.

Then I stamped to silhouette of wildflowers and grass with Staz-On ink. I trimmed the panel down, leaving a narrow white border, and popped it up on the card base with fun foam.

This is a great non-gender sympathy card. I need to build up my stash of sympathy cards as well.

I love the Frayed Burlap and think I have it. Need to use it as it looks great with so many colors. Your silhouette looks so pretty with it and I really like the water droplets.

I love your card - I might be able to duplicate it somewhat since I, too always have a need for sympathy cards.

Beautiful and dignified sympathy card done in the neutral tones, Susan. Like your bg with the water drop marks.

I can just feel this card. It's so touching, the taupe color sky, the quiet silhouette flowers - well done!

I like the moon in the bg of your image, Susan,.....your water droplets turned out just lovely, and really, one never knows exactly what will happen when adding water!
