SHOPPING OUR STASH #366 - Silhouettes


Welcome and happy Tuesday to you!
This week at
SHOPPING OUR STASH, we are looking for
Silhouettes on your projects.
I decided to use a gel print I made months ago, and didn't really like. 
But trimming it down and using it as a background to
my silhouette stamp changed my mind:


I shopped my snippet files for paper pieces to use and even
used a long neglected star border die. My card design is based off an
older sketch (#317!) from Sketch Saturday.

I hope you find some time this week to join in our Silhouettes challenge
at Shopping Our Stash! Need more ideas? Simply visit the blogs of
my teammies to see what they created, and leave some bloggy lovin while there.
 Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a great day!

  2. WOW!! Love that piece you didn't like for the background on your fabulous silhouette, I'm so glad you did't toss it.

  4. Hey, Chris, this is so cool. I just love the energy that radiates from your image. Nice integration and wonderful tension between the light and dark areas of your design(particularly your white spiral side bar). I always save my "unhappy" gel prints to use as background images because they do have a way of becoming "focal images" when the right challenges come along. This is a great save and a beautiful gel prints.

adding pinterest script 3. Changing the Position of the Pin it! button The cool thing about this code is that you have some freedom over where the Pinterest button for Blogger will go over the image. Take a look at the code that you just copied and pasted into the HTML for the word 'center'.
