Non Silhouette Silhouette

I know that silhouette stamps are all the rage and I love the simple black (or dark) images.  But sometimes I look at them and wonder, "what would this look like if it wasn't a silhouette"?  So I took out my markers and gave it a try.

And I didn't ink up the heart outline.  Do you recognize the stamp?

Here's a close up.

I'm not sure I like it that much better than the silhouette, but I tried it and I'm happy with the results.

If you're interested, I used this technique on the Easter Blossoms little girl last year.  You can see the results here and here.

The Less is More challenge this week is to use Three Shades of Green.  


I used Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green, and Certainly Celery.  I used some other colors too so I'm not sure this is what they want.  The sky is Pool Party which is a greenish blue (aqua) and the brown is Soft Suede which I always thought was greenish brown.

The CAS challenge at SCS today is to use Scallops.  I haven't been able to play there for quite a while so I'm excited to be able to send a card to my friends there.

I'm really loving my scallop circle nesties.   I've already used them more than all the other nesties I have put together.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

I hope you've had as nice a day as I've had.  I found time to stamp some today and it's not often anymore that I can do that.  I hope you've been able to stamp today too.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Enjoy!
