Audrie has share a marvelous inspiration site from her pinterest boards and I actually combined 2 for this card. I took the idea of the silhouette image from this one: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/387591111650882090/
I can see myself using many of her pins for inspiration: Thanks, Audrie!
I blended distress inks on wc cs for the main panel, and then used the technique where you spritz a stencil with water and lay it on your cs for a bit and when you take it off it leaves this fabulous shadow on your blended ink. Love it! Then I stamped the silhouette and sentiment, but due to the texture of the wc cs, it wasn't as solid as I would like so I went over it with a marker also. Matted, and done. I will definitely use that stencil technique again! Linking to IC456 (inspiration challenge) and MIX83 using the fire elements colors.
