I just love the Stampin' Up! range of silhouette stamps that they have in the Idea Book and Catalogue. A few days back I posted a photo using this technique. Here are the rest of the cards I made.

I simply found some photos of sunrise/sunsets from our personal collection and stamped silhouette images over the top with Basic Black ink. It's a very effective technique that I found in a recent card making magazine.

I think they would make great Sympathy cards or for general use. I purposefully didn't put sentiments on most of them because I thought it spoiled the images.

My hubby took these magnificent photos.

Have an awesome day!! It's my last day of the holidays before I go back to teaching tomorrow. I've decided to start a class blog with my grade 5/6 so they can share their creativity with the world!

A Camera Card and Mini Album - Digital Punch Art

Image
It's always fun to join in with a challenge when I get the chance and this week I've decided to play along at Dynamic Duos .  The 'colour' palette is Crumb Cake and Basic Black with Wet Embossing as the 'Dessert Option' .  Camera Card and Mini Album I'm really quite excited about this project as I designed the card and album using Digital Punches from MDS (My Digital Studio).  I've seen some cute punch art cameras and thought I'd try my hand at a digital version.  The 'punches' were combined to form a template, made into a cutting file in my Silhouette Studio and cut out with a Silhouette Cameo electronic cutter.  The camera shape is based on one of the designs from the 'I Am Me' suite (DSP) - SU.   You can see what digital punches I used in the last photo in this post.     Camera Card The sentiment is from the stamp set, Happy Day (SU) and has been embossed with white embossing powder. Camera Mini Album...
